The NFL has issued multiple fines to Detroit Lions players for on-field infractions related to player safety rules. 

In mid-October, linebacker Jack Campbell was fined $15,930 for a hip drop tackle, while tight end Brock Wright received a $17,911 fine for a leg whip categorized as unnecessary roughness. Under current league rules, players who commit three “major” fouls—such as hip drop tackles, horse-collar tackles, or blindside blocks—face a one-game suspension.

Following these incidents, defensive end D. J. Wonnum was also fined $12,611 for a hip-drop tackle during a game against the Arizona Cardinals. If Wonnum accumulates two more qualifying safety violations during the season, he will be subject to a one-game suspension.
