John Franklin-Myers Fined $12,537 for Kneeing Derrick Henry
John Franklin-Myers, a defensive lineman for the Titans, has been fined $12,537 by the NFL for kneeing Ravens running back Derrick Henry during a game on Sunday.
The incident occurred in the second quarter, following a touchdown pass from Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson to tight end Mark Andrews. After being cut-blocked by Henry, Franklin-Myers struck Henry in the midsection while he was on the ground, an act that went unnoticed by officials during the game.
This fine has drawn attention as it is significantly lower than other recent penalties, including a $23,882 fine for Ravens receiver LaJohntay Wester for displaying an unauthorized logo on his gloves. The disparity in fines has raised questions about the league's disciplinary measures.
