Malik Mustapha's hit on Drake London went unflagged, but the 49ers safety isn't necessarily in the clear. His recent disciplinary history adds another layer to the NFL's upcoming review.
San Francisco 49ers safety Malik Mustapha could face an NFL fine following a helmet-to-helmet collision with Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London on Sunday, October 25. The collision occurred during the third quarter of Atlanta's 29-20 victory and sent London to the medical tent for a concussion evaluation. Although officials did not flag the play, the league conducts independent reviews that can lead to retroactive fines.
Mustapha has faced disciplinary scrutiny throughout the month, previously receiving a $6,998 fine for a hit on Seattle's Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Under the NFL's player-safety disciplinary rules, accumulating three qualifying offenses in the same category can trigger a one-game suspension. The league is expected to announce any potential discipline in its accountability report on Saturday, October 31.
