The NFL fined New Orleans Saints defensive tackle Nathan Shepherd $11,817 on Saturday for committing unnecessary roughness against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Chargers players accused Shepherd of intentionally trying to injure quarterback Justin Herbert on the play last week in Los Angeles' 26-8 win.
Shepherd and Chargers center Bradley Bozeman were both flagged for unnecessary roughness after Shepherd appeared to twist Herbert's right ankle after he had already taken Herbert to the ground. Bozeman jumped on top of Shepherd and shoved him away from Herbert.
