Cameron Jordan upset over fake injury fine from NFL
The NFL’s decision to fine Cameron Jordan $50,000 for allegedly faking an injury in the Saints’ Week 13 loss to the Buccaneers has made him very unhappy.
Jordan indicates that he was in fact injured during the game.
After hitting the ground on a third-and-17 play against the Buccaneers, Jordan explained to ESPN that he felt something in his ankle. Although he felt he couldn’t put pressure on his foot, he eventually took a knee after trying to get off the field.
After the injury timeout, the NFL believed that Jordan had taken a knee to delay the Buccaneers, who were set to go for it on fourth down but elected to punt. “The league’s discipline is doing undue harm to my reputation,” said Jordan.
I feel like my name has been slandered. “I haven’t played with more or less,” Jordan told ESPN. I went out, got taped up, and went back to the playing field to finish the game.
Jordan has played in 188 of a possible 191 regular-season games thus far and this is the first time he has missed a game due to injury. During his career, he has worked on many different projects.

He would be irked by the NFL’s ruling and wants the league to rescind the fine because it’s easy to understand why.
The NFL fined Jordan, who is appealing the charge. He is frustrated that he has to go through the appeal process; however, he understands that it is necessary.
Jordan said that it was almost funny that he had to go through an appeal. “The league should not have a million dollar fine for an injury, they should just call it in and be done with it.”
The team was fined $500,000 for Jordan’s injury, and the Saints took on a $350,000 penalty. Coach Allen was fined $100,000 and both Jordan and co-defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen took on $50,000.
Jordan believes that the league office will rescind the results of his MRI and “fat foot” once he sends them.
He said that there’s a whole MRI that says he was actually hurt, which was crazy, that somebody can tell you, not even how you feel, but how bad you’re actually hurt.
Let’s see if Jordan’s appeal is successful and he’s able to keep the $50,000. The 33-year-old is in the first year of a contract extension that will last three years and be worth $52.5 million.
