NFL punishes Bengals’ Erick All, Jordan Battle during bye week

The NFL fined Cincinnati Bengals players Erick All and Jordan Battle for unnecessary roughness violations following the team's Week 5 victory over the Miami Dolphins. Safety Jordan Battle was issued a $21,623 fine for improper helmet use during a first-quarter defensive play. Tight end Erick All was penalized $7,073 for a helmet-related unnecessary roughness infraction on special teams.

All received a personal foul for headbutting Miami safety Julius Wood following a kickoff return.
