He was penalized for hitting Packers quarterback Jordan Love in the first half. The second hit came when Love lowered his helmet when Booker aimed for his chest.
The play ended with a head-to-head collision, and Love was forced to exit the game with a concussion. Love is still in the concussion protocol and will miss Saturday night’s game against the Baltimore Ravens.
Per Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, the league fined Booker $11,636 for the two illegal hits on Love.
“The NFL fined Bears DE Austin Booker $11,636 total for two illegal hits last week on Packers QB Jordan Love — including the helmet-to-helmet shot that knocked Love of the game,” Pelissero posted on X. “Love remains in concussion protocol and is out tonight against the Ravens.”

The fine for Booker is ridiculous. While Booker committed a penalty by rule, Love was at fault for the contact to the helmet. Frankly, he led with the crown of his helmet.
Even Bears head coach Ben Johnson wasn’t sure how Booker was supposed to avoid the penalty.
Bears linebacker D’Marco Jackson was also fined for Week 16. The NFL is taking $6,111 out of his paycheck for a late hit in the first quarter.
The Packers had two players fined. Defensive lineman Warren Brinson was fined $4,981 for a facemask on Caleb Williams in the fourth quarter. Wide receiver Jayden Reed was fined $10,880 for taunting in the third quarter.
