As per league policy, the amounts of the player fines were not disclosed.

The league originally levied discipline stemming from Week 6 on July 20, coming down hard on incidents in the Touchdown Atlantic game. Saskatchewan Roughriders’ receiver Duke Williams was suspended for a pre-game helmet throw at Toronto Argonauts’ defensive back Shaquille Richardson, who received a maximum fine for the altercation.

Argos’ defensive end Eli Mencer was also suspended for derogatory language directed at an official.
