NFL disciplinary fines for player conduct

Overview

The NFL has issued fines to players for unnecessary roughness violations during Week 1 and subsequent games.

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs was fined $23,027 for the impermissible use of his helmet during a touchdown run against the New Orleans Saints. This penalty was identified through the league’s disciplinary review process despite not being flagged during the game.

Buffalo Bills safety C. J. Gardner-Johnson received an $11,194 fine for a hip-drop tackle performed during a game against the Detroit Lions. The league has recently designated the hip-drop tackle as a finable offense following a 2024 vote by NFL owners to prohibit the technique for safety reasons.
