NFL Fines Two Eagles for Helmet Violations After OT Loss to Chargers

Philadelphia also elevated safety Andre' Sam for a third time under practice-squad rules.

Overview

  • Tight end Cameron Latu was fined $4,666 for a use-of-helmet violation that occurred with 3:22 left in the first quarter.
  • Safety Andre' Sam received a $4,741 fine for a similar helmet infraction at the start of overtime.
  • The Eagles confirmed Sam’s third practice-squad elevation for Sunday’s game against the Raiders, which means any further use would require adding him to the 53-man roster.
  • Philadelphia lost to Los Angeles 22-19 in overtime in Week 14, with Jalen Hurts throwing four interceptions as the Eagles committed five turnovers and six penalties.
  • No Chargers players were fined from the game, and reports noted multiple unnecessary-roughness fines were issued leaguewide for Week 14.
