Rams' Landman Fined $11,111 for Hit
11 Oct
Summary
- Nate Landman fined $11,111 for unnecessary roughness.
- Landman's fine was for a hit on a defenseless receiver.
- Puka Nacua faced a penalty but avoided further discipline.
Nate Landman, a captain for the Los Angeles Rams, has been fined $11,111 by the NFL following a review of recent games. The penalty stems from an unnecessary roughness infraction during the second quarter of the Rams' victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.
Officials had flagged Landman for his tackle on Eagles wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks, specifically citing a hit on a defenseless player. This in-game penalty cost the Eagles 15 yards and a first down. The fine marks Landman's second infraction under revised NFL personal foul guidelines, with three such violations potentially leading to a one-game suspension.
In contrast, Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua will not face further discipline. Nacua had been flagged for an illegal blindside block during a running play in the third quarter. It appears the NFL has determined the call against Nacua was incorrect.
The Rams, Landman, and Nacua are preparing for their Week 5 game against the New Orleans Saints, with an emphasis on avoiding penalties.
