Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh was not fined for his hit on Jacksonville quarterback Chad Henne last Friday that drew a flag for roughing the passer, ESPN.com's Michael Rothstein reported on Friday.

Suh has been fined for numerous hits on quarterbacks, but this personal foul did not join the list. He was also fined $100,000 last season for a low block on Vikings center John Sullivan and suspended two games in 2011 for stepping on Packers offensive lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith.

"I saw it. I thought it was a clean hit," said Lions defensive tackle C.J. Mosley after the game. "Suh is Suh, he has that 'reputation.' I thought it was a clean hit."

The 27-year-old Suh, who is a three-time Pro Bowler, has 27.5 sacks in four seasons with the Lions.
