NFL to Players Making Violent Hits: We Will Suspend You

The NFL announced Tuesday that it will begin suspending players for dangerous and flagrant hits, particularly those involving helmets. Suspensions will be in place for this weekend's games, the Associated Press reports, while at least three players have been fined for hits they made last Sunday - among several violent plays, many of which resulted in concussions.

The Pittsburgh Steelers' James Harrison was docked $75,000, while the New England Patriots' Brandon Meriweather and the Atlanta Falcons' Dunta Robinson will lose $50,000 each. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told the AP that the league wants to give players fair warning before it begins suspensions.
