Steelers LB is fined by NFL
Mykal Walker, an inside linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers, was called for needless roughness in Week 15 against the Indianapolis Colts. As a result, the NFL has fined Walker again this season.
Walker’s horsecollar penalty on Colts running back Zach Moss in the second quarter resulted in a $5,611 punishment. It’s the season’s first fine for him.
The NFL dealt a blow to the Steelers defence following Indianapolis. Walker was fined, but in addition, the league suspended Damontae Kazee, a safety, for the balance of the regular season following his ejection for an unwarranted roughness hit on wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr.
After an appeal by Kazee, the suspension was trimmed down to only the final three regular season games from its original three-game suspension for the regular season and playoffs.
The NFL has penalised the Steelers about $400,000 this season; running back Jaylen Warren has paid the highest amount, totaling two $48,556 in fines.
