CFL fines Montreal’s Murray, Richards and Edmonton’s Noah Taylor
TORONTO — Montreal defensive back Najee Murray and linebacker Tyrell Richards have been fined for high hits in a CFL game against Ottawa.
Edmonton defensive lineman Noah Taylor was also fined for making contact with an official, the league said Thursday.
Murray was fined for a high hit on Redblacks quarterback Jake Maier and Richards for a high hit on wide receiver Justin Hardy on Friday. Both plays occurred during Montreal’s 34-13 win over Ottawa.
Taylor received objectionable conduct penalties in both the first and second quarters of Saturday’s 28-26 loss to the visiting Saskatchewan Roughriders.
The first was for contact with an official and the second was embellishment. Taylor was ejected after the second penalty.
The CFL’s department of health, safety and integrity manages league discipline, including fines, while the commissioner oversees suspensions. The CFL doesn’t make public the dollar amount of the fines.
