Pittsburgh Steelers safety Mike Mitchell was fined $9,115 for an illegal hit on Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith, as opposed to $48,620, which was erroneously reported Thursday.
However, Mitchell was indeed fined $48,620 for a helmet-to-helmet hit delivered on Chiefs running back Charcandrick West, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported.
Although Mitchell wasn't flagged for the hit on West, the Chiefs running back suffered a concussion on the play.
Mitchell remains eligible to play Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.
