Atlanta Falcons safety Damontae Kazee was fined $10,026 for his hit on quarterback Cam Newton in last Sunday's win over the Carolina Panthers.
The second-year safety Kazee, who was ejected from the Week 2 game against Carolina, is appealing the fine, NFL Network reported.
Panthers wide receiver Torrey Smith was fined the same amount -- $10,026 -- for his retaliation, flying in to shove Kazee, drawing a penalty flag for unnecessary roughness.
Falcons defensive end Takk McKinley was also fined $10,026. On Friday, McKinley was ruled out for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints due to a groin injury.
Running back Devonta Freeman (knee), defensive end Derrick Shelby (groin) and linebacker Corey Nelson (calf) will also miss the contest.
