Overview

  • Kenneth Walker III was fined $11,593 for pointing at and throwing the ball at Cardinals cornerback Kei'Trel Clark after a second‑quarter run, a play that drew a 15‑yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
  • Devon Witherspoon received a separate $11,593 fine for a fourth‑quarter taunt identified on league review, and no flag was thrown during the game.
  • Neither player was suspended, so both remain available as the 3-1 Seahawks host the Buccaneers in Week 5.
  • Reports noted that Clark was neither flagged nor fined, and Arizona players drew no fines from the Week 4 matchup.
  • The penalties follow earlier league discipline for Seattle this season, including a $23,186 fine to Leonard Williams for a helmet‑use violation in Week 3.
