Bruce Arians fined $50,000 for striking Buccaneers player during wild card win over Eagles - CBS Sports

Buccaneers coach Bruce Arians was fined $50,000 after making contact with Tampa Bay safety Andrew Adams during the team's wild card win over the Eagles.

Arians slapped Adams' helmet during Tampa Bay's 31-15 win on Sunday. 

Arians apparently thought that Adams was going to try to pull Eagles players off the pile following a muffed punt by Philadelphia wideout Jalen Reagor.

Brown, stating his ankle injury, said that he was too injured to enter the game, which led to his release

Arians said Brown alluded to his lack of involvement in the offense as his reasoning for not going back into the game, which led to Arians asking Brown to leave the sideline.
