The NFL has fined the New Orleans Saints $550,000 after defensive end Cameron Jordan allegedly faked an injury in Monday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, per Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk.<\/p>\n

The Saints were fined $350,000, while Jordan ($50,000), defensive line coach Ryan Nielsen ($50,000) and head coach Dennis Allen ($100,000) picked up individual fines.<\/p>\n

The Saint released a statement denying of faking an injury:<\/p>\n

Are fines made by nfl open to public? I just feel like this should be public knowledge. ‘Cause some of the fines are silly but this 1\u2026 ridiculous. Anyways & for what a “deliberate action to delay game” before a tm punts? NFL just wanted a new patek aquanaut or summ\u2026 not off me<\/p>\n

The incident took place midway through the fourth quarter as the Buccaneers were hurrying to the line of scrimmage on a 4th-and-10. Jordan went down with an injury, forcing a stoppage, and the Bucs then punted instead of trying to convert the fourth down.<\/p>\n

According to Florio, cameras captured Jordan “receiving direction” from the sideline to go down with an injury.<\/p>\n

Tampa Bay won 17-16 on a last-second touchdown pass by Tom Brady.<\/p>\n

the NFL released a memo<\/a> last Friday stating it would fine players, coaches and teams for faking injuries, calling them “deliberate actions to delay the game.”<\/p>\n

In Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs, Cincinnati Bengals defensive back Jessie Bates III seemingly faked<\/a> an injury to help his team complete a substitution. Bates was also fined $50,000 on Saturday, per Tom Pelissero<\/a> of NFL Network.<\/p>\n

On Monday, several fans called out Jordan for apparently doing the same:<\/p>\n

It’s clear the league office felt the same and levied the fine against the player, the coaching staff and the organization.<\/p>\n

It could be difficult for the NFL to prove injuries are not genuine, but the league is taking steps to reduce these attempts to get a competitive advantage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
