ESPN - NFL fines Titans' Vanden Bosch $7,500 for low hit - NFL

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The NFL has fined Tennessee Titans defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch $7,500 for a low hit on Atlanta Falcons quarterback Joey Harrington.

Vanden Bosch's agent, Anthony Agnone, did not immediately return a call on Saturday from The Associated Press seeking comment.

Vanden Bosch told The Tennessean that he plans to appeal the fine.

"If you watch the play, I beat the tackle and he grabbed my ankle with both hands, so I am falling down and hit him with my arm, not my helmet or my shoulder or anything," Vanden Bosch said. "I don't know how to prevent that. It wasn't a dirty hit. The guy tripped me so I was going down."
