The NFL has fined Eagles safety Brian Dawkins $50,000 for his third-quarter hit on Giants WR Ike Hilliard on Monday night, ESPN's John Clayton reported.

Dawkins will not be suspended.

The play came in the third quarter of Philadelphia's 17-3 win Monday night. After a pass went over Hilliard's head, Dawkins leveled him with a hit to the chest, separating the receiver's shoulder.

The league has re-emphasized its policy this week against helmet-to-helmet and other dangerous hits.

On Wednesday, Dallas safety Darren Woodson was fined $75,000 for a hit on Seattle's Darrell Jackson last Sunday.

"I know my intent on that play,'' Dawkins said. "It was a split-second thing. It's real hard to just make yourself stop in the middle of a full-out sprint. I'm not a dirty player by no sense of the imagination. It's one of those things that happened.

"I was upset he was out for the season. You want to deliver a message, you want to deliver big hits, but you never want to put somebody out like that. I really felt for him when I heard that.''
