Week 1 has so far produced several incidents that could lead to NFL punishment after the league reviews the games.
The NFL reviews personal fouls and other player-safety violations after games, meaning a penalty during a game can be followed by an additional fine. The league’s 2026 rulebook also introduced a new accountability system for certain safety violations, with qualifying infractions counting toward potential suspensions.
The Kansas City Chiefs still have to play the Denver Broncos on “Monday Night Football,” so the list is not final. However, several players from the games already completed could hear from the league office before Week 2 games resume.

Derick Hall, Seattle Seahawks: Hall shoved New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye after Maye had already stepped out of bounds during the first quarter. The contact came after the play and resulted in a 15-yard unnecessary-roughness penalty. A late hit carries a first-offense fine of $11,941.
Tyler Davis, Los Angeles Rams: Davis was flagged for unnecessary roughness after hitting Brock Purdy in the head following the San Francisco 49ers quarterback’s pass in the first half. Purdy had already released the ball when Davis made helmet-to-helmet contact. The NFL could review the play for additional discipline, with a first-offense fine of $23,882 possible for an impermissible use of the helmet violation.
NFC North
Dayo Odeyingbo, Chicago Bears: Odeyingbo was penalized for roughing Bryce Young in the first quarter against the Carolina Panthers. The penalty gave the Panthers 15 yards. A first roughing-the-passer offense can result in a $17,911 fine. Odeyingbo also had a hands-to-the-face penalty that could potentially be upgraded to a facemask violation, which carries a first-offense fine of $11,941.
Javon Bullard, Green Bay Packers: Bullard hit Kyler Murray as the Minnesota Vikings quarterback slid during a scramble in the first quarter. Murray’s helmet came off on the collision and he suffered a concussion, while Bullard received a 15-yard unnecessary-roughness penalty. A late hit could bring a $11,941 first-offense fine, with the NFL able to apply a higher category if its review determines the contact violated another player-safety rule.
Evan Williams, Green Bay Packers: Williams was flagged for unnecessary roughness after making contact with Justin Jefferson following a third-down reception in the second quarter. The 15-yard penalty extended Minnesota’s drive, which eventually ended with a Jefferson touchdown. If the NFL classifies the contact as a hit on a defenseless player, the first-offense fine is $17,911.
NFC South
Derrick Brown, Carolina Panthers: Brown was also called for roughing the passer during the loss to Chicago. Like Odeyingbo, the Panthers defensive tackle could face a $17,911 fine if the NFL upholds the infraction as roughing the passer.
Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers: Evans was flagged for unnecessary roughness during a second-quarter punt. The officials did not specify the exact conduct that triggered the penalty, so the eventual fine would depend on how the NFL classifies the play. A qualifying late hit would carry a $11,941 first-offense fine, while a hit on a defenseless player could reach $17,911.
Tykee Smith, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Smith delivered a hit to Joe Burrow’s neck area as the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback slid after a 12-yard scramble in the second quarter. Burrow had already given himself up, and Smith was flagged for unnecessary roughness. The NFL could classify it as a late hit for a $11,941 fine or a hit on a defenseless player for $17,911. If officials determine Smith launched into the contact, the first-offense fine could reach $23,882.

Stefon Diggs, Washington Commanders: Diggs scored against the Philadelphia Eagles and then ran to the goalpost and hugged it during his celebration. Officials flagged him for unsportsmanlike conduct, adding 15 yards to the ensuing kickoff situation. The NFL’s first-offense fine for unsportsmanlike conduct is $14,926. Diggs has history with the celebration, having previously been fined for hugging a goalpost.
DeMarvion Overshown, Dallas Cowboys: Overshown was flagged for unnecessary roughness after hitting New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart out of bounds following a 22-yard scramble. The 15-yard penalty moved New York to the Dallas 22 and helped set up the Giants’ opening touchdown. A late-hit classification carries a first-offense fine of $11,941.
Javonte Williams, Dallas Cowboys: Williams scored a touchdown against the Giants before extending the football toward New York safety Tyler Nubin. The celebration drew a 15-yard taunting penalty and pushed Brandon Aubrey’s extra-point attempt back to 48 yards. Aubrey missed the kick. Williams could face the NFL’s $11,941 first-offense taunting fine.
AFC East
JuJu Brents, Miami Dolphins: Brents was flagged for taunting after a play against the Las Vegas Raiders. The penalty gave Las Vegas a fresh set of downs and became one of the most costly mistakes in Miami’s 27-13 loss. Taunting carries a first-offense fine of $11,941. Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley indicated Brents could be fined for the incident.
AFC South
Mario Edwards Jr., Houston Texans: Edwards was flagged for roughing Josh Allen during Buffalo’s 36-31 victory over Houston. The defensive lineman made low contact with the Bills quarterback, drawing the 15-yard penalty. Roughing the passer carries a first-offense fine of $17,911.
Odeyingbo’s teammate and other personal-foul cases remain subject to review
The NFL does not automatically issue fines for every personal foul. The league reviews the play, determines the applicable category and can decline to impose additional discipline. The 2026 system also gives players an opportunity to avoid longer-term consequences by avoiding additional qualifying infractions.
