Falcons' Umenyiora fined for hit on Palmer

Atlanta Falcons defensive end Osi Umenyiora has been fined $15,750 for a hit on Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer last Sunday, according to a league source. Umenyiora was penalized in the first quarter for roughing the passer. An intentional grounding call on Palmer created offsetting penalties, wiping out the play. It's unclear whether Umenyiora plans to appeal the penalty, but he appeared to clap his hands in disgust with himself after the hit.
