DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -- Miami Dolphins defensive end Olivier Vernon says he has been fined by the NFL for a late, low hit on Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota and plans to appeal.

Vernon declined to say Wednesday how much he was fined. He hit the Tennessee rookie's knee Sunday and was criticized afterward by Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt, who said it appeared Vernon was trying to hurt Mariota.
