The Kansas City Chiefs are preparing to return from their bye week, but defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton will face a financial setback due to a recent fine. He was penalized $11,817 for unnecessary roughness during Week 5's victory over the New Orleans Saints.
Despite this fine, Wharton has had a strong start to the season, recording 11 tackles, three quarterback hits, and one-and-a-half sacks. His impressive performance includes a pass rush grade of 74.9, ranking him seventh among interior defensive linemen. As the Chiefs gear up for their next game against the San Francisco 49ers, Wharton aims to continue his productive play.
