The Cleveland Browns are busy preparing for their fourth consecutive win as they head to New York to play the Jets in Week 5, but a handful of players hit a bump in the road on Saturday.
On October 10, the NFL Office of Accountability announced fines for quarterback Deshaun Watson, running back Quinshon Judkins, offensive tackle Austin Barber and defensive end Adin Huntington.
The penalties were as follows:
Watson: unsportsmanlike conduct: illegal celebration and vulgar acts ($14,926)
Judkins: unsportsmanlike conduct: illegal celebration and vulgar acts ($14,397)
Barber: unsportsmanlike conduct: illegal celebration and vulgar acts ($6,944)
Huntington: unnecessary roughness: hip-drop tackle ($5,620)
Huntington's fine came as a result of a play he made in the third quarter of the Browns' Week 4 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Meanwhile, the fines for Watson, Judkins and Barber all came due to a joint celebration following a touchdown by Judkins just before the mid-point of the third quarter.
While the NFL can suspend players for on-field transgressions, none of the Browns fined by the league for their Week 4 actions will miss the team's game against the Jets on Sunday. All of them also reserve the right to appeal those fines.
