"A $20,000 fine isn't insignificant for any player, and even less so for one making the rookie minimum since a weekly game check wouldn't cover that.

It's even less insignificant for a practice squad player, who only makes $5,700 a week.

That's what linebacker Mike Lockley is facing if he can't get his fine reduced on appeal. Lockley was fined $20,000 for a hit on a Patriots receiver in the Jaguars first preseason game."
