To protect players from unnecessary risk and preserve competitive balance and game integrity, the NFL and NFL Players Association have agreed on a set of game-related rules violations that may result in accountability measures.
The prior week’s summary will be posted here every Saturday at 4 p.m. ET throughout the NFL season.
The schedule of fines was jointly negotiated between the NFL and the NFLPA and is communicated to every NFL player prior to the season.
Learn more about the fines and appeals process.
Players are notified of violations and may appeal any ruling. Cases are heard by appeals officers and former NFL players, Derrick Brooks, Ramon Foster, Kevin Mawae, or Jordy Nelson, who are jointly appointed and paid by the NFL/NFLPA. The decisions made are final and binding.
The fines collected are donated to the Professional Athletes Foundation to support Legends in need and the NFL Foundation to further support the health, safety and wellness of athletes across all levels, including youth football and the communities that support the game.
Here are the initial weekly on-field, safety-related decisions for the 2024 NFL season:
