Considering the huge sums players have been paying of late for helmet-to-helmet hits, Jaguars safety Don Carey got off relatively easy.
Vito Stellino of the Florida Times-Union reports Carey will pay $12,500 to the league after cracking Jason Witten in the helmet last week.
Carey feared the fine would be worse, although Witten’s lack of injury on the play probably helped. He says he didn’t intend to hit Witten in the head, but will adjust his play.
