NFL rescinds Jake Ferguson's fine before Thursday Night Football
Summary

The NFL has overturned the $13,611 fine imposed on Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson due to a controversial celebration. Ferguson was initially penalized for a celebration that was deemed as mimicking a beer shotgunning motion. He successfully argued that the act was, in fact, a Gatorade celebration familiar from practice. The Cowboys’ social media documentation played a key role in supporting his defense. With the fine rescinded, Ferguson can participate in the upcoming Thursday Night Football game without any financial repercussions hanging over him.
