NFL fines Browns T Tytus Howard for tripping

The NFL fined Cleveland Browns right tackle Tytus Howard $12,537 on Saturday for a preseason tripping penalty. Howard, 30, was flagged for 15 yards in the first quarter of the Browns’ first preseason game on Aug. 15 against the Chicago Bears. The article also notes that money from player fines is donated to the Professional Athletes Foundation and the NFL Foundation. Cleveland acquired Howard from the Houston Texans on March 11 in exchange for a 2026 fifth-round pick. After the trade, he signed a two-year, $45 million contract extension with the Browns. Howard was a first-round pick (2019) and started all 93 games for Houston from 2019-25.
