The NFL has rescinded a $50,000 fine against the New Orleans Saints' Cameron Jordan for allegedly faking an injury after the defensive end won his appeal, ESPN reported Thursday.
The league had issued a memo in early December notifying teams it will enforce harsh penalties for faking injuries.
The Saints were playing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Dec. 5 and leading 16-3 in the fourth quarter when Jordan attempted to sack quarterback Tom Brady on third-and-17.
Jordan fell to the ground, got up, appeared to look to his sideline and went to one knee, appearing to point to his leg.
