According to Eric Woodyard of ESPN, Detroit Lions safety Tracy Walker was fined $11,000 after being ejected in the team’s Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Walker was ejected after he was flagged for two separate offenses in a single play. First, he was called for unnecessary roughness when he launched with his head at Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, who was in the process of giving himself up via a slide.
Eagles players took offense to the hit and a scrum ensued. After being shoved a couple of times, Walker’s emotions got the best of him, and he swung at an Eagles player’s helmet drawing a second flag and an ejection.
