The NFL has cracked down this season on fake injuries and real electronic devices.
Per multiple sources, the league has aggressively imposed fines during the 2022 for violation of the electronic device policy. In all, 12 teams and three players have been fined this year.
In a reminder sent to all teams on December 2 (the same day teams were reminded about the faking of injuries), the NFL explained to all teams that it has “observed several electronic device policy violations this season.”
“As a result, clubs have been fined the minimum amount of $50,000, and players have been fined the minimum amount of $5,305,” the league explained in the December 2 memo. “Clubs are strongly encouraged to put pregame processes in place to ensure compliance. This should include verifying that each individual with bench area, locker room, and coaches’ booth access are not wearing or possessing a prohibited electronic device (e.g., cell phone, Apple Watch, Fitbit, etc.) at kickoff.”
