OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens defensive end Dwan Edwards plans to appeal his $5,000 fine for unnecessary roughness stemming from his crushing hit on Cleveland Browns wide receiver Joshua Cribbs on Monday night.

Edwards hit Cribbs with a forearm to the facemask on the final play of the Ravens' 16-0 win.

"I hope it goes to a good charity," Edwards said. "Hopefully, I can get some of it back. I've tried to do that before with no luck."

The letter that Edwards received from the league office indicated that the fine was for unnecessary roughness.

"Basically, it was for hitting him when he supposedly shouldn't have reasonably expected it," Edwards said.

Cribbs was carted off the field and taken to the hospital for tests on his neck and concussion symptoms and was released the following morning before returning to practice Thursday. 

"He hit me and I hit him," Edwards said. "It was an unfortunate situation. He ran into where I was running."
