Overview
- The NFL assessed two fines of $10,144 each for unnecessary roughness/illegal use of the helmet at 4:10 of the second quarter and 2:05 of the third quarter.
- One cited play was a lead block that produced helmet-to-helmet contact with Eagles defensive end Jaelan Phillips; the other followed a 27-yard catch when he lowered his helmet into safety Reed Blankenship.
- The discipline is monetary only with no suspension, so Kyle Juszczyk is expected to be available for San Francisco’s divisional-round matchup with Seattle.
- Juszczyk can seek review through the league’s appeals process before officers Derrick Brooks, Ramon Foster or Jordy Nelson, whose decisions are final.
- Proceeds from the fines will go to the Professional Athletes Foundation and the NFL Foundation to support health, safety and community programs.
