Eagles receiver Bryce Treggs is out $25,000.
The second-year player tweeted on Monday that the league fined him $25,000, presumably for his hard block on Packers corner Damarious Randall in the first quarter of the first preseason game on Aug. 10.

Treggs, who was claimed by the Eagles after final cuts a year ago, made $450,000 in 2016. This fine is about 5.5 percent of his salary from a year ago.
Randall didn't take long to respond, via Twitter.

Since the first preseason game, Treggs has missed practice with and the second preseason game with sore legs. He did have a fantastic preseason opener though, catching seven passes for 91 yards.
While Treggs didn't seem happy about the fine, he expected it. Here's what he told Philly.com about it:
"I tried to hit him in the shoulder, but I think the top of my helmet caught him in the chin, from the film that I watched," he said. "I just gotta be more precise with my target area, just a little bit lower, and I think I'll be fine next time."
