Ward fined

Hines Ward was fined $5,000 by the NFL for a late hit and unnecessary roughness in Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns.

In other news, Casey Hampton has re-structured his contract for this season, taking $2.5 million in bonus money to save the Steelers $1.6 million on their salary cap this season. That money was apparently used to sign Kendall Simmons to his extension.
