The NFL fined Giants receiver Sterling Shepard for unnecessary roughness in last week’s game against Detroit.
Shepard will lose $26,739, via Ralph Vacchiano of SNY.
In the first quarter, officials penalized Shepard for an illegal blindside block on a 5-yard run by Wayne Gallman. It cost the Giants half-the-distance-to-the-goal, moving them back 13 yards to their own 13.
Giants linebacker Mark Herzlich was not fined for a 15-yard penalty he had late in the second quarter, per Vacchiano. Officials cited Herzlich for a questionable lowering-the-head-to-initiate-contact foul.
