RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Seahawks defensive back Roy Lewis says he is appealing a $5,000 fine from the league for a late hit.

Lewis said Thursday he was docked for hitting Detroit's Derrick Williams out of bounds at the end of a kickoff return Sunday. He was penalized with a personal foul.

Lewis says teammate Lance Laury was also fined $5,000 by the NFL for a late hit on the same play. Lewis expects to hear soon from the league on his appeal.

The second-year player from Washington was promoted from the practice squad early this month and was making his Seahawks debut last weekend.
