EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota Vikings defensive end Jared Allen has been fined $25,000 for a recent spate of late hits, but he won’t be suspended.
He’s not planning to reduce his aggressiveness, either.
After his summons to NFL headquarters in New York on Tuesday, Allen returned to Winter Park to continue resting and rehabilitating his sprained right shoulder. He vowed his approach to pass rushing would not change, even though he’s been fined a total of $80,000 this season — over three separate levies — for what the league has deemed unacceptable contact during games.
‘‘Not at all. I will play football the way I play football, and that’s the way it is,’’ Allen said after Wednesday’s practice, in which he did not participate due to his injury. ‘‘I’m not a dirty player. I never have been. I play hard football, and that’s the bottom line.
