Minneapolis, MN -- (Sports Network) - Minnesota Vikings defensive end Jared Allen was fined, but not suspended for a hit on Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.Coach Brad Childress said on Wednesday that, while Allen will be fined $25,000, the player will not be punished further. Allen was summoned to the league office Tuesday to talk about his play. Allen was fined $50,000 for two late hits earlier this month on Houston quarterback Matt Schaub, one that injured his knee. The following week against Green Bay, Allen was called for roughing the passer on a helmet-to-helmet hit on Rodgers. A fifth-year player out of Idaho State, Allen has paid dividends on the trade the Vikings made in the offseason to acquire him from Kansas City. The 26- year-old has eight sacks and two safeties in 10 games for the Vikings this season.
