Packers rising star receives news he didn’t want to hear from the NFL right before Ravens game
Wide receiver Jayden Reed and defensive tackle Warren Brinson were both fined by the league.
The No Fun League attacks again. Because of his celebration after Romeo Doubs’ touchdown last week against the Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed got fined $10,880 by the NFL for taunting — Reed had already been flagged in the game.
Packers defensive tackle Warren Brinson was also fined $4,981 for unnecessary roughness — a key facemask penalty during the fourth quarter that also extended a Bears drive, which contributed for Chicago’s comeback win in overtime.
Two Bears defensive players, Austin Booker and D’Marco Jackson, were also fined because of three different hits on Packers quarterback Jordan Love.
The Packers have handled several fines this year
The Packers players to be fined this season have been safety Xavier McKinney, punished because of a taunting penalty during the Week 1 win over the Detroit Lions; linebacker Ty’Ron Hopper, fined $6,891 because of a facemask penalty in Week 2 against the Washington Commanders; linebacker Quay Walker, punished for a hit on a quarterback in Week 7; safety Evan Williams, fined $6,448 for unnecessary roughness by hitting the quarterback against the Carolina Panthers in Week 9; edge defender Micah Parsons, punished $12,172 for tripping in Week 10; and defensive tackle Colby Wooden was fined $6,789 for unnecessary roughness because of a facemask during the fourth quarter of Green Bay’s 27-20 win over the New York Giants in Week 11.
NFL fines
While it’s tough to see football players losing money like that for regular plays, at least it goes to a good cause. The fines collected are donated to the Professional Athletes Foundation to support legends in need.
Players are notified of violations and may appeal any ruling. Appeals officers, such as former NFL players Derrick Brooks, Ramon Foster, and Jordy Nelson, who are jointly appointed and paid by the NFL/NFLPA, hear cases. The decisions made are final and binding.
The potential violations include offenses against game officials, player safety rules, flagrant personal fouls, fighting, sportsmanship, uniform rules, and gang signing.
Last year, the Packers were among the least penalized teams in football in this area. In 2024, 543 plays resulted in fines, accounting for 1.16% of all plays during the season.
