NFL Rescinds Punishment for Dallas Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson
The NFL is walking back its $13,611 fine levied against Dallas Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson, according to a report from Adam Schefter.
The NFL has withdrawn its $13,611 fine imposed on Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson, ESPN insider Adam Schefter reported. Initially, the league fined Ferguson for his touchdown celebration against the Washington Commanders in Week 2, deeming it an "imitation of shotgunning a beer" and in poor taste. However, Ferguson appealed the decision, stating that the celebration was a Gatorade ritual he performed regularly in practice, as documented by the team on social media.
The rescinded punishment follows a similar reversal for San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk. The Cowboys are currently 2-2 at the start of the 2026 NFL season after a Week 4 win over the Houston Texans. They are set to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a Thursday Night Football game on Thursday, which is scheduled to begin at 8:15 p.m. ET.
