The NFL is discussing whether to suspend Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Dashon Goldson for his helmet-to-helmet hit Sunday on New Orleans Saints running back Darren Sproles, according to a league source.
The hit to Sproles come one week after he was fined $30,000 for hitting New York Jets tight end Jeff Cumberland in the Buccaneers' Week 1 loss.
Goldson was flagged for his hit on Sproles just as he was for the hit on Cumberland in Week 1. The Buccaneers committed 10 penalties for 118 yards in their 16-14 loss to the Saints. Against the Jets, Tampa Bay had 13 penalties for 102 yards. Their 23 penalties for 220 yards is the worst in the NFL through two weeks.
From 2010 through Monday, Goldson has drawn 15 personal fouls, more than any player in the NFL.
Goldson is in his first season with the Buccaneers, joining Tampa Bay with a five-year, $41.25 million contract this offseason. The 28-year-old safety had played his first six seasons with the San Francisco 49ers.
Considering his history and two penalties this season, the NFL will determine in the next 24 hours whether to suspend him, the source said.
