Nathan Shepherd of the New Orleans Saints has successfully appealed an $11,817 fine for unnecessary roughness, related to an incident involving Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert during a Week 8 game.
Shepherd was accused of attempting to reinjure Herbert, who had previously sprained his right ankle. The NFL has rescinded the fine, marking it as Shepherd's only penalty this season. Both Shepherd and Chargers center Bradley Bozeman were penalized during the play, but only Shepherd faced a fine.
