Saints’ Jordan Wins Appeal Regarding Alleged Fake Injury Fine, per Report

Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan is no longer facing discipline from the NFL after winning his appeal of a $50,000 fine he received last month for allegedly faking an injury during a game, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Friday.

The decision to rescind the fine comes a little over a month after the league fined Jordan on Dec. 10 for the incident, which occurred during the Saints’ Week 13 matchup against the Buccaneers on Dec. 5. The NFL reportedly reviewed video that showed individuals on the New Orleans sidelines directing the seven-time Pro Bowler to fake a lower body injury in the fourth quarter after it appeared Tampa Bay would go for it on fourth-and-10.
