Dolphins Safety Not Fined For Hit That Injured Patriots’ Mac Jones
Jevon Holland avoided supplementary discipline
A penalty flag was the only punishment Jevon Holland received for his high hit on New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones.
The NFL chose not to fine the Miami Dolphins safety for the hit, according to a report Saturday from NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero.
Holland was penalized for roughing the passer after drilling Jones in the helmet during the fourth quarter of last week’s 20-7 Patriots loss at Hard Rock Stadium. The quarterback was hit low by a different Dolphins defender on the same play, causing him to suffer a back injury.
Jones stayed in and played the rest of the game. Postgame X-rays on his back were negative, and he was removed from New England’s injury report Friday, clearing him to play Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Holland and the Dolphins will visit the Baltimore Ravens in their Week 2 matchup.
