Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman has been fined $US48,620 ($A63,000) by the NFL for his tackle on New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard last week.

Norman is a repeat offender who was fined more than $US26,000 ($A34,000) last season for his tussles with Giants receiver Odell Beckham last Sunday, and hit Shepard near the head and neck area.

Also from that game, Giants centre Weston Richburg was docked $US12,154 ($A15,900) for his unsportsmanlike conduct after being ejected.

New York safety Andrew Adams was fined $US9,115 ($A12,000) for hitting a Redskins player who was out of bounds during a punt.

San Francisco's Eli Harold was fined $US18,231 ($A24,000) for his horse collar penalty that resulted in Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson spraining the medial collateral ligament in his left knee.
