Las Vegas Raiders safety Jeremy Chinn has reportedly been fined $17,911 by the NFL for his hit on New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson during their Week 8 meeting.
The incident occurred in the closing seconds of the Raiders’ 38-33 victory on November 1, and Wilson subsequently entered concussion protocol and was ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
NFL insider Tom Pelissero reported the fine. Chinn had already been penalised for unnecessary roughness during the game, but the NFL’s postgame disciplinary process has brought an additional financial consequence.

The collision took place during the Jets’ final possession at MetLife Stadium.
With New York trailing 38 to 33, quarterback Geno Smith found Wilson for a 15-yard reception. Chinn came in to make the tackle and made helmet-to-helmet contact with the receiver.
Officials immediately threw a flag for unnecessary roughness, giving the Jets additional yardage and another opportunity to find a late touchdown.
However, the next play changed the outcome. Smith attempted to find Wilson in the end zone, but Chinn intercepted the pass to seal the Raiders’ victory.
The sequence gave Chinn a remarkable finish to the game, although the collision subsequently became a major concern for the Jets.
