Outcomes like Monday night's are precisely why the league banned the hip-drop tackle during the Annual League Meeting in March. It isn't the first notable hip-drop tackle resulting in injury -- Texans running back Joe Mixon was taken down by Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards via a hip-drop tackle in Week 2, causing a high-ankle sprain that cost Mixon three games -- but it has produced the most significant injury to a star player this season. Despite the league's efforts, it's clear the tackle won't disappear from football immediately, as Smith became the 10th player to be fined for the tackle this season.
