NEW ORLEANS, La. -- New Orleans Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan has successfully appealed his $50,000 fine after he was accused of faking an injury against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Dec. 5, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Jordan said last month that he felt his integrity had been questioned after the league accused him of faking the injury toward the end of an 17-16 loss to the Buccaneers. The Saints organization was fined $350,000, coach Dennis Allen was fined $100,000 and Saints co-defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen was fined $50,000.
The Saints were leading the Buccaneers 16-3 in the fourth quarter when Jordan looked at the sideline and briefly went down on one knee.
