Ndamukong Suh has been fined $7,875 by the NFL for making a throat-slashing gesture after a tackle on Sunday, according to Dave Birkett of the Detroit FreePress.

Suh has already been fined by the league twice this season, a $100,000 penalty for a low block on Minnesota's John Sullivan and $31,500 for leading with his helmet on a tackle of Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden.

Suh has been fined a total of nine times in his NFL career and was suspended for two games during the 2011 season for stomping on Packers offensive lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith.
