CFL fines Edmonton's Noah Taylor after ejection vs. Roughriders
The league also fined two Montreal Alouettes players for high hits during a win over Ottawa last week.
The CFL announced Thursday it has fined Edmonton defensive lineman Noah Taylor for objectionable conduct penalties committed during Saturday's 28-26 loss to the visiting Saskatchewan Roughriders. Taylor was flagged in both the first and second quarters, the first for contact with an official and the second for embellishment, resulting in his ejection from the game.
Montreal defensive back Najee Murray and linebacker Tyrell Richards were also fined by the league for separate high hits during the Alouettes' 34-13 win over Ottawa the previous Friday. Murray was penalized for a high hit on Redblacks quarterback Jake Maier, while Richards was fined for a high hit on wide receiver Justin Hardy.
The CFL's department of health, safety and integrity handles league discipline and fines, while suspensions fall under the commissioner's authority. As is standard practice, the league did not disclose the dollar amounts of any of the fines.
