Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs won his appeal and had a $45,020 fine rescinded by the NFL, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
Jacobs was originally fined for unnecessary roughness/illegal use of helmet for an unpenalized play during the fourth quarter of the Packers’ Week 3 win over the Tennessee Titans.
Per Pelissero, this is the third time Jacobs has won an appeal over a fine in the last two years.
The original fine was for Jacobs lowering his head and initiating contact with an opponent.
Appeals are handled officers Derrick Brooks, Ramon Foster, Kevin Mawae and Jordy Nelson, four former NFL players.
