The NFL has fined Los Angeles Rams safety Tanner Ingle $4,666 for his hit that gave Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston a concussion in an Aug. 16 preseason game, NFL Network reported on Saturday.

Johnston was injured on an incomplete deep sideline pass from quarterback Justin Herbert when Ingle hit him on the third play from scrimmage of the Rams' 23-22 victory. Johnston lay on his back with his arms outstretched and was motionless for several moments at SoFi Stadium. Johnston eventually moved his arms and legs, then sat up and walked to the medical cart that took him off the field

Ingle, 25, had nine tackles in the Rams' 19-17 loss on Saturday to the host Cleveland Browns in their preseason finale.

He was an undrafted free agent out of North Carolina State who spent the 2023 and 2024 seasons on the Rams' practice squad and signed a futures contract for the 2025 season on Jan. 20.
