Tee Tomlinson had already locked up a roster spot before the Rams’ preseason finale against the Broncos last week, but his final exhibition game was cut short during Denver’s first drive.
Tomlinson tackled Marvin Mims Jr. by his facemask on the opening drive and was subsequently ejected. It was a dangerous way to tackle the receiver to the ground, though thankfully Mims wasn’t injured on the play.

Tomlinson got his first taste of an NFL fine and hopefully it’ll be the last time he has to pay one.
The NFL fined #Rams rookie DB Tre Tomlinson $4,444 for unnecessary roughness — the violent facemask on #Browns WR Marvin Mims that got Tomlinson ejected from last week’s preseason finale.
