OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Baltimore Ravens defensive end Dwan Edwards plans to appeal the $5,000 fine he received for a hit delivered to Cleveland Browns wide receiver Joshua Cribbs on Monday night.

Edwards struck Cribbs with a forearm to the facemask on the final play of Baltimore's 16-0 win.

Edwards said Friday he will appeal in an effort "to get some of it back." He said the fine was levied because the hit came at a time when Cribbs "supposedly shouldn't have reasonably expected it."

Cribbs was carted off the field and taken to the Cleveland Clinic for tests. He was released the following morning and returned to practice Thursday.

Cribbs spoke to Edwards on Tuesday and is convinced he wasn't trying to injure him.

Earlier in the game, Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs was hurt on an illegal block by Browns quarterback Brady Quinn, who was fined $10,000 for unnecessary roughness.

Steelers linebacker James Harrison was fined $5,000 for unnecessary roughness when he struck Bengals tackle Andrew Whitworth late.

Jaguars defensive back Reggie Nelson was fined $7,500 for roughing Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez with a hit to the head area.

Titans cornerback Cortland Finnegan was fined $10,000 for trying to tackle an opponent by grabbing the facemask and unnecessary roughness for hitting an opponent late. Titans linebacker Keith Bulluck was fined $7,500 for unnecessary roughness for using a horse collar in tackling a running back.
