NFL Announces Discipline for Multiple Players Over Houston Texans Game

The NFL issued fines to three players following infractions committed during the Houston Texans' Week 7 loss to the New York Giants. Texans secondary members Ja'Marcus Ingram and M.J. Stewart received fines totaling $18,028. Ingram received a $6,361 fine for a second-quarter unnecessary roughness late hit on kickoff coverage, while Stewart was fined $11,667 for an unflagged fourth-quarter hip-drop tackle.

Stewart's infraction places him under stricter scrutiny, as two additional hip-drop tackle offenses could trigger a one-game suspension under revised league guidelines. Additionally, Giants running back Cam Skattebo was fined $7,073 for unnecessary roughness regarding the illegal use of his helmet during the contest.
