2 Packers fined, but not Javon Bullard for hit on Kyler Murray

Bullard avoided a fine for the hit that concussed Murray in the Week 1 Vikings-Packers game.

In a controversial decision, the NFL fined two players from the Green Bay Packers for hits that left Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray concussed during Week 1. However, safety Javon Bullard, who was flagged for a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty, did not receive a fine. The league did not provide an explanation for this discrepancy, leaving fans and analysts to speculate on the reasoning behind their decision.

Murray is currently ruled out for Minnesota's Week 2 game against the Bears, but head coach Kevin O’Connell indicated that he should clear the concussion protocol early in the week and be ready to play in Week 3 against Tampa Bay.
