The NFL won't be fining Miami Dolphins defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh for his actions in the Dolphins' Week 1 win over the Washington Redskins. Suh, who signed a six-year, $114 million contract with Miami this offseason, has a history of bad behavior on the field, and at first blush it looked like he was up to his old tricks against Washington.
After tackling Alfred Morris, Suh made contact wth the running back's helmet and it came off. There was a question of whether Suh had deliberately kicked Morris' helmet off, but the league has determined it was not intentional.
NFL spokesman Michael Signora told the Washington Post that although "there as contact between the players, Suh's action was not deemed a kick."
Since entering the NFL in 2010, Suh has been fined eight times for player safety violations. Last season, he was fined $70,000 for stepping on Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers; Suh was initially suspended one game for the behavior, but was fined instead after winning his appeal.
