NFL Fines Micah Parsons $12,172 for Unflagged Trip on Saquon Barkley

No additional discipline is planned beyond the fine.

Overview

  • League officials issued the penalty after reviewing a late fourth-quarter play in Green Bay’s 10-7 loss to Philadelphia at Lambeau Field.
  • On the play, Parsons extended his leg to trip Barkley, a move that went unflagged by on-field referees.
  • The discipline was categorized under striking/kicking/tripping, with reports also describing it as unnecessary roughness.
  • Parsons has publicly criticized officiating this season, a backdrop noted in coverage of the league’s postgame action.
  • The $12,172 fine is minor relative to Parsons’ reported four-year, $186 million extension with significant guarantees.
