Arik Armstead will be fined $17,911 for a hip-drop tackle in the Jaguars’ Week 9 win over the Baltimore Ravens.
The fine for unnecessary roughness stems from a tackle on Derrick Henry on the Ravens’ very first offensive play of the third quarter. The play was a direct snap to Henry, who was stopped after just 1 yard by Armstead and Matt Dickerson. Armstead was not flagged for the play at the time.

The fine is Armstead’s second of the season, after being fined 11,941 for a face mask penalty when the Jaguars played the Patriots back in Week 3 of the 2026 season. Armstead was the only Jaguars or Ravens player who was fined for their Week 9 play.
Armstead, who signed with the Jaguars in 2024 after spending the first nine years of his career with the 49ers, has 14 tackles, 1.5 sacks and a pass breakup for the Jags this season. Armstead had two tackles in the Jaguars’ 33-10 victory, including the one he was fined for against the Joe Fagnano-led Ravens in Week 9.
The funds the NFL collects through fines are donated to the NFLPA’s assistance to retired players, and the NFL Foundation and other nonprofit organizations that support kids’ sports leagues, community wellness initiatives, and the safety, health and well being of athletes at all levels of sports.
