Absolutely NO fine or suspension should be given. I don't care about either team, but he was leading with his shoulder and his helmet happened to hit McGahee's a split second before the shoulder.
If you fine this play, you might as well fine every hit that a DB lays on the offense in the future.
Back to the original post: You ask if they should give the ball back to an injured player who fumbles. But if the player fumbles but isn't injured, then he shouldn't get the ball back, right? In that case, wouldn't EVERY player who fumbles fake an injury in order to get the ball back?? Just something to think about.
