The NFL fined Commanders linebacker Frankie Luvu a second time for a hip-drop tackle.
Luvu, whose base salary for this season is $9.125 million, will forfeit $46,372 for this week.
He was not penalized for the illegal tackle of Chiefs tight end Noah Gray after a 15-yard gain with 10:22 remaining in the fourth quarter.
Luvu lost $23,186, the standard first fine for a hip-drop tackle, on a tackle of Falcons quarterback Michael Penix in the second quarter of Week 4.
He also had a hip-drop tackle of Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs in the postseason that cost him $16,883.
That’s three fines for Luvu for hip-drop tackles in the past 10 games.
