Defensive end Jarvis Jenkins received a fine of $16,537 for a roughing-the-passer penalty this past Sunday against the Houston Texans, and cornerback Bashaud Breeland received a fine of $16,537 for a horse collar tackle in the same game, according to a league spokesman.

Both players plan to appeal their fines.

Breeland drew a flag when he dragged Andre Johnson down by the back of his shoulder pads with 13:47 left in the game. Ten yards were assessed on the penalty, and the Texans started their next play at the Washington 11-yard line.

A rookie selected in the fourth round of this past spring’s draft, Breeland earns $24,705.88 per game.

Jenkins committed his infraction with 7:07 left in the game when he hit Ryan Fitzpatrick just after the quarterback let go of a pass that fell incomplete. The 15-yard penalty moved the ball from the Houston 23 to the 38.

A fourth-year veteran, Jenkins earns $54,540.24 per game check.
