Those of you who thought Adrian Colbert was unfairly ejected last week aren’t going to like this. Per Ian Rapoport, the NFL has fined the San Francisco 49ers safety $28,075 for his unnecessary roughness penalty during the 49ers Week 1 preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys.
The penalty in question came from a hit Colbert laid on Cowboys wide receiver Cedrick Wilson. A late flag came in from the play which led to Colbert being ejected for targeting. The call for the flag and subsequent ejection was met with some controversy as replays showed Colbert’s helmet hitting more into the chest area.
