According to a USA Today report, the NFL has fined Miami Dolphins safety Jimmy Wilson for his late hit during the Jacksonville Jaguars game last weekend.  During the opening drive of the second half, Jacksonville quarterback Mike Kafka scrambled for 12 yards, then ran out of bounds.  Wilson then threw a shoulder into the quarterback, drawing a 15-yard penalty.
