Cincinnati Bengals rookie Josh Newton fined by NFL
Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Josh Newton got a letter from the NFL, but not the good kind. Newton received a fine following the Bengals’ Week 17 win over the Denver Broncos.
Newton was fined $4,885 for “unsportsmanlike conduct (violent gesture)” following a Bo Nix pass that landed incomplete. The broadcast did not show Newton’s gesture, so we aren’t quite sure what it was.
In addition, Broncos safety PJ Locke was fined $13,972 for illegal use of his helmet during a hit on Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki.
Earlier this season, Andrei Iosivas was fined for a “violent gesture” after mimicking a bow and arrow after a Week 2 touchdown. Wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase received a fine for the same offense following Week 5 and Cam Taylor-Britt received one after Week 15’s win at the Tennessee Titans.
Chase appealed his fine, but it was ruled that the penalty would stand.
Newton will likely appeal his as well.
Another Bengal gets a letter from the NFL, so hopefully, there’s no more of that tonight against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
According to reports, Cincinnati Bengals rookie wide receiver Josh Newton has been fined by the NFL for violating the league’s COVID-19 protocols. The exact amount of the fine has not been disclosed, but it serves as a reminder to all players to take the necessary precautions to prevent the spread of the virus.
Newton, who was drafted by the Bengals in the third round of this year’s draft, has apologized for his actions and has vowed to be more careful in the future. The team has also issued a statement expressing their disappointment in Newton’s behavior and emphasizing the importance of following the league’s guidelines.
It is crucial for all players to adhere to the NFL’s protocols in order to protect themselves, their teammates, and the entire league from the ongoing pandemic. Hopefully, this incident serves as a wake-up call for Newton and other players to take their responsibilities seriously and prioritize the health and safety of everyone involved.
