The NFL was fined Denver Broncos safety Devon Key $4,417 for his face mask penalty in the second quarter of last week’s game against the Baltimore Ravens, according to multiple reports.
Key played in Denver’s secondary the past two weeks while PJ Locke recovered from a thumb injury. Locke has since been cleared to return to the starting lineup (with a casting) against the Kansas City Chiefs this weekend. Key has 14 total tackles over the last two games.
Earlier this season, Denver defensive lineman Malcolm Roach ($25,324), safety PJ Locke ($27,944), defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers ($14,069), safety Brandon Jones ($11,255), outside linebacker Nik Bonitto ($8,791), fullback Mike Burton ($7,653), center Luke Wattenberg ($5,872) and tight end Lucas Krull ($5,083) were also fined by the NFL.
The money the league receives from fines is “donated to the Professional Athletes Foundation to support Missing legends and the NFL Foundation to further support the health, safety and well-being of athletes at all levels,” according to the NFL.
