? For the second time in a week, a fine has been levied for sideline contact during a punt return.

Carolina defensive end Tyler Brayton was fined $15,000 by the NFL for hitting Atlanta’s Chris Owens out of bounds in last week’s game. The fine was levied Friday, but not made public.

Also last Sunday, New York Jets strength and conditioning coach Sal Alosi stuck out his knee and tripped Miami’s Nolan Carroll. Alosi was suspended indefinitely by the team and fined $25,000.
