Steelers RB Jaylen Warren fined $48K for illegal hit

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren was fined $48,333 for illegal use of helmet in the Week 2 win against the Cleveland Browns, according to the NFL's gameday accountability weekly update.

Warren lowered his helmet and hit Browns safety Juan Thornhill at the end of a catch-and-run reception early in the second quarter Monday night. The play didn't draw a flag in the game. Warren's agent David Canter posted on social media that they planned to appeal the fine.

Safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, meanwhile, was not fined for his tackle of Nick Chubb that resulted in a season-ending knee injury for the Browns running back.
