Bombers’ DB Brandon Alexander among six players fined in Week 12

The Canadian Football League has fined six players for hits delivered in Week 12, including Winnipeg Blue Bombers safety Brandon Alexander.

The 30-year-old veteran, who has recorded 45 tackles this year, was fined for a high hit on Hamilton Tiger-Cats receiver Kiondre Smith. His teammate, linebacker Tanner Cadwallader, was punished for a blindside block on long snapper Gordon Whyte in that same game, while Hamilton fullback James Tuck was reprimanded for a late and unnecessary hit on Winnipeg returner Lucky Whitehead.

Also fined this week was Saskatchewan defensive back DaMarcus Fields for a high hit on Toronto receiver Makai Polk, B.C. defensive end Juliano Falaniko for clipping Ottawa fullback Anthony Gosselin, and Montreal defensive end Isaac Adeyemi-Berglund for a high hit on Edmonton quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompson.

As per CFL policy, the amounts of the fines were not disclosed. The maximum allowable fin under the terms of the collective bargaining agreement is half a game cheque.
