The NFL fined the Baltimore Ravens defensive end Dwan Edwards $5,000 Friday for hitting the Cleveland Browns wide receiver Joshua Cribbs during Monday’s game. But the player does not want to accept it and plans to appeal.
During the Monday’s 16-0 win, Edwards struck Cribbs with a forearm to the facemask on the final play. But the reason for the fine is that he hit Cribbs at a time when Cribbs “supposedly shouldn’t have reasonably expected it.” And he has already talked with Cribbs and the latter was convinced that Edwards was not trying to injure him and defended the DE on Friday when saying that he may be able to play Sunday’s game against the Lions.
Other fined players include Browns quarterback Brady Quinn, who had to play $10,000 for blocking alinebacker in Ravens jersey duruing Monday's game, Steelers defensive Reggie Nelson, Titans cornerback Cortland Finnegan and linebacker Keith Bulluck.

Browns WR Cribbs missed Wednesday practice but still hopes to play Sunday
While the Cleveland Browns quarterback Brady Quinn was fined for chop block on the Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs, the Ravens defensive end Dwan Edwards also has to pay for a shot on Browns wide receiver Josh Cribbs, who was held out of Wednesday practice with a neck injury and concussion.
Cribbs pitched the ball on a pass play and was leveled by Edwards, who delivered a forearm and shoulder to Cribbs’ chin. Cribbs spent a few hours at the Cleveland Clinic undergoing tests. Afterwards, the team said the results were negative, indicating the team may have to play this Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions without the top playmaker.
But what Quinn did to Suggs is no less serious. The three-time Pro Bowler could miss significant time with a knee injury for the first time in his seven-year career of wearing NFL jersey, ending his streak of 105 played games.

Ravens TE Smith may miss both remaining preseason games with hamstring injury
On Monday, in the preseason game against the New York Jets, the Baltimore Ravens won over the Jets by 24-23 but had two players injured. Defensive tackle Kelly Gregg hurt his shoulder and an MRI Tuesday showed no damage. The injury of tight end L. J. Smith seemed much more serious-the pulled hamstring may prevent him from playing in the rest of the preseason.
“It’s a concern,” Coach John Harbaugh said about Smith’s injury Wednesday. “It’s a hamstring pull. It’s going to take him a little while. I don’t know how long. You never know with those things. It’s in a different spot from the other one. He’s been working incredibly hard to get right.”
A former Philadelphia Eagles standout, Smith was signed by the Ravens as a free agent during the offseason. But injuries had been tormenting him for the past two years. He suffered an upper hamstring pull, a hip flexor problem as well as the effects of a sports hernia procedure during the offseason. It was not easy for him to get play time in games, so he worried about the injury a lot. The team also hoped he would be ready for the season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sept. 13.

Police arrested Ravens rookie Fein for assaulting an officer
Baltimore Ravens rookie linebacker Tony Fein was arrested on Sunday and still stays in custody. He was charged with assaulting an officer, and a Ravens spokesman says the team will give Fein a chance to explain what happened.
The Iraq veteran who served as an Army infantry scout was signed as a free agent in June after being tried out in a minicamp. He was eating dinner at Johnny Rockets in the Inner Harbor Sunday evening. While he was passing a cell phone to one of his friends, a security officer went to question him in doubt that what Fein passed to his friend was a handgun.
Not sure why, Fein become very angry and shoved an officer to the ground. The office was said to have an elbow injured and Fein was then arrested for assaulting police officer.
