Miami Dolphins safety Minkah Fitzpatrick is being docked double following two unsafe plays during Week 11.

The NFL announced Saturday that Fitzpatrick has been fined $12,172 for a low block with 5:27 remaining in the first quarter, along with an additional $17,289 for a hip-drop tackle at the 10:07 mark of the second quarter.

In total, he was penalized nearly $30,000 for unnecessary roughness violations stemming from the Week 11 matchup against the Washington Commanders, a game Miami won in Madrid, Spain.

Fitzpatrick also received an unnecessary roughness/facemask fine last season while playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Dolphins (4–7) are currently on their bye week and will return in Week 13 on Nov. 30 to host the New Orleans Saints.
