Fred Warner was fined for hit on a defenseless player, Malik Mustapha was not

The linebacker’s season total in announced fines rises to $107,466 as the league’s stricter discipline rules make repeat violations more costly.

  • The NFL fined San Francisco 49ers linebacker Fred Warner $65,673 for two unnecessary-roughness violations against the Washington Commanders.
  • The fines included $47,762 for a hit on Washington tight end Chig Okonkwo and $17,911 for hitting a defenseless player.
  • Warner could face a one-game suspension if disciplined for two more hits on defenseless players, while a separate hip-drop tackle could contribute to suspension eligibility.
  • The 49ers defeated the Commanders 23–17 to improve to 6–0, while Malik Mustapha received no fine for his collision with Stefon Diggs.
