Roquan Smith refuses to say whether he was fined for hip-drop tackle that injured Chris Godwin

On Monday night, a potential hip-drop tackle by Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith dislocated the ankle of Buccaneers receiver Chris Godwin. Did the league fine Smith for the trick?

He won't say.

Per ESPN.com's Jamison Hensley, Smith would not disclose whether the league has fined him for violating the new ban against hip-drop tackles.

“I never go to a game that means to hurt a player“Smith said Thursday. “I want every player to get home safe and sound to their families – maybe a little sore.”

The league office will announce Saturday if Smith will be fined.

“I got a lot of respect [Godwin] What he's accomplished as a player and throughout this league,” Smith said. “You never want to see someone go down with any kind of injury. But we play a very physical game. It demands a lot. Bullets are flying pretty fast.”

A hip-drop tackle occurs when certain elements are met: (1) the defensive player grabs the runner with both hands or wraps the runner with both arms; (2) the defensive player lowers his weight and drops his hips or lower body; and (3) the defensive player enters the field and blocks the runner's leg at or below the knee.

The play has not yet flagged in real time; It is very difficult to identify all elements at full speed. But since the incident, the league has been fined.

In two days, we'll find out if Smith has been fined.
