"Nathan Shepherd successfully appealed his $11,817 fine for unnecessary roughness, with the NFL rescinding the penalty after an investigation into the incident involving Justin Herbert."
"Several Chargers players alleged that Shepherd was attempting to reinjure Justin Herbert's previously sprained ankle during the game, which raised significant concerns over his actions on the field."
"The incident, which occurred when Shepherd pulled Herbert down while he was passing, resulted in no additional penalties against Shepherd, marking this as his only infraction so far this season."
"Former Saints coach Dennis Allen defended Shepherd amid accusations of dirty play, stating that the incident was not indicative of Shepherd's character or playing style."
