NFL Fines Lions’ Jameson Williams $11,593 for Week 1 Taunting

The sanction reflects a broader Week 1 discipline push that produced 18 league fines, including several for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Overview

  • League officials issued the fine after reviewing a late-game reception where Williams confronted Packers safety Xavier McKinney with 2:18 remaining.
  • No penalty was called on the field for the exchange, though Green Bay’s Javon Bullard was flagged for illegal contact on the sequence.
  • The $11,593 figure matches the NFL’s standard taunting fine under its collectively bargained schedule.
  • Other Week 1 taunting fines included Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy and Packers safety Xavier McKinney, who were each docked the same amount.
  • Lions safety Brian Branch was fined a total of $23,186 for two infractions in the game, including taunting and an uncalled facemask.
