The 4 Eagles fined <\/p>\n
Defensive lineman Nolan Smith and cornerbacks Cooper DeJean and Jakorian Bennett were each fined by the NFL for their actions in the first game of the league season, their Sept. 4 win over the Cowboys.<\/p>\n
Bennett was docked $23,186 for a hip-drop tackle on CeeDee Lamb just before halftime. Officials did not penalize Bennett on the 10-yard play, and with no timeouts, Dak Prescott hustled the Cowboys to the line of scrimmage to spike the ball on the next play. Brandon Aubrey then nailed a 53-yard field goal as time expired, cutting Philadelphia\u2019s lead to 21-20 at halftime.<\/p>\n
Earlier in the quarter, Smith was flagged 15 yards for taunting, after stuffing Miles Sanders for no gain at the 50-yard line. He was fined $11,593.<\/p>\n
And DeJean, who Chiefs defensive coordinator loved during the 2024 draft process<\/a>, also saw his game check reduced by $11,593. He committed a first-quarter facemask on the kickoff after Philadelphia knotted the game 7-7. The foul was not called, but the NFL saw it on film.<\/p>\n Those three weren\u2019t the only players fined from Week 1. The NFL announced earlier in the week a peculiar ruling in the case of Jalen Carter. Despite 28.3 million watching on television<\/a> when he spit on Prescott after the opening kickoff and earned an ejection six seconds into the season, the league said he\u2019d already served a one-game suspension, opting instead to allow Carter to play Sunday against the Chiefs.<\/p>\n Feb 9, 2025; New Orleans, LA, USA; Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Cooper DeJean (33) returns a punt against Kansas City Chiefs safety Nazeeh Johnson (13) during the second quarter in Super Bowl LIX at Caesars Superdome.
