Tershawn Wharton is facing an $11,817 fine for unnecessary roughness after a Week 5 incident against the Saints. Despite this setback, he is enjoying a breakout season, recording 11 tackles, three quarterback hits, and one-and-a-half sacks. His 15 pressures are just two shy of his total from the entire previous season, and he boasts a career-best pass rush grade of 74.9, ranking seventh among interior defensive linemen. Wharton has shown notable improvement in both pass rush and run defense, thriving alongside Chris Jones. As the team returns from their bye week, he aims to build on his strong performance in the upcoming game against the 49ers.
