Eagles defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins verified that he was issued a fine for $15,000 due to a helmet-to-helmet hit last Sunday on Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan according to Jonathan Tamari of the Philadelphia Inquirer. “You can punch somebody (Packers CB Charles Woodson, Week 1 vs. Saints) and only get fined $10,000,” Jenkins said. “You do an honest mistake, it’s not like I launched at him.”
