Vikings linebacker Dallas Turner will find his upcoming paychecks more than $34,000 lighter, due to a pair of infractions against the Ravens in Week 10.

Turner was fined $17,389 for roughing the passer in the second quarter of the loss to Baltimore. He landed on quarterback Lamar Jackson will his full body weight.

Turner also was fined $17,389 for a hip-drop tackle of kicker returner Justice Hill on the opening kickoff of the game.

A penalty was called on the roughing violation. No flag was thrown for the hip-drop violation.

And, yes, the two fines exceed Turner's sack total for the year, at 1.5. It's a fact of which Vikings fans have been keenly aware, especially since Jared Verse was on the board when Turner was selected with the 17th overall pick in the 2024 draft.

The Patriots signed linebacker Bradyn Swinson from the practice squad to fill the open spot on their 53-man roster.

Brock Wright and Ross Dwelley are the remaining tight ends on the active roster.
