Overview
- League records list a $12,172 unnecessary roughness fine for Walker stemming from his Nov. 2 ejection against Las Vegas.
- Multi-angle replays cited by Tom Pelissero show Walker driving a right-handed punch into Stone Forsythe’s helmet, meeting the rule’s standard for removal.
- Forsythe drew a flag on the play but did not appear on the NFL’s weekly fines list released Saturday.
- Jacksonville adjusted its rush plan with Emmanuel Ogbah and Dawuane Smoot working alongside Josh Hines-Allen after the ejection, then edged the Raiders 30-29 in overtime.
- Context for the sanction includes a 2024 fine for a separate punching incident and Walker’s current season playing with a left-wrist brace while posting two sacks after a 10.5-sack 2024.
