    The NFL has fined Jets DE Muhammad Wilkerson $15,785 for his hit on Titans QB Jake Locker. CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora says that an appeal for Wilkerson already has been made.

    "I know I'm not a dirty player," Wilkerson said, via the Newark Star Ledger. "I think it was a clean hit. And that's that. … At the end of the day, people have their thoughts. Some people thought it was dirty. I can't make that decision."

    SteveRobWhatever's Take: Word is Quinton Coples was fined for his hit as well. I can only hope Coples' fine is bigger, since his hit was the one that I think was late. Titans have dodged a bullet on this one, but face a tough stretch vs the Chiefs, Seahawks and 49ers without him.
