The NFL fined Jets linebacker Quincy Williams $10,609 for a late hit on Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts as he was going out of bounds, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. The hit occurred during the opening drive of the first quarter of the preseason game between the two teams last Friday.
Hurts was scrambling to the right sideline when Williams lit up Hurts, sending him to the ground with his helmet coming off. By the time Williams made the vicious hit, Hurts was already out of bounds. Williams was penalized for unnecessary roughness on the play.
