Report: Lattimore, Fournette docked $13K for skirmish; Brady avoids fine
The NFL fined New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore and Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette $13,367 each for unnecessary roughness in the Week 2 skirmish between the clubs, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports.
Tom Brady wasn't fined for his role in the incident, Pelissero adds.
All three players were involved in the Week 2 scuffle that resulted in Lattimore and Bucs receiver Mike Evans being ejected. Evans received a one-game suspension, which was upheld after an appeal. The wideout will miss the club's upcoming contest against the Green Bay Packers as a result.

The Buccaneers defeated the Saints 20-10 in the contest.
