Overview
- Panthers cornerback Michael Jackson was fined $20,611 for unnecessary roughness and a use-of-helmet violation on Chris Olave, a play that drew no in-game flag.
- Carolina tackle Ikem Ekwonu received an $11,593 fine for a retaliatory late hit on Cam Jordan after Jordan had pushed quarterback Bryce Young; Jordan was not fined.
- Three Saints were disciplined: Kelvin Banks Jr. ($11,593) for taunting, Devin Neal ($5,015) for a violent gesture, and Danny Stutsman ($6,095) for use-of-helmet unnecessary roughness.
- Reporting described Jackson’s $20,611 as the second-highest fine across the NFL in the Week 15 slate.
- The fines do not affect the Saints’ 20–17 win over the Panthers, and all penalized players may seek reductions through the appeals process.
