DENVER (AP) The NFL has fined the Denver Broncos for wearing the wrong uniforms in a game against San Diego, and it fined wide receiver Rod Smith for accidentally hitting an official, according to published reports.
The Broncos were fined $25,000 for wearing white uniforms Sept. 14 against San Diego, even though Denver had agreed beforehand to wear dark uniforms, The Denver Post reported Friday.
Smith was fined $20,000 for striking umpire Undrey Wash during Monday night's 31-10 win over Oakland, The Post and the Rocky Mountain News reported. Smith got tangled with Raiders defensive tackle Chris Cooper after a 6-yard reception and took a wild swing that struck Wash.
Both newspapers cited an unidentified league source in reporting the fines.
