Packers OLB Rashan Gary fined almost $11K for facemask penalty in Week 9

Green Bay Packers edge rusher Rashan Gary was fined $10,927 by the NFL for unnecessary roughness during Week 9 of the 2023 season.

Gary was penalized 15 yards for a facemask on Los Angeles Rams quarterback Brett Rypien at the 5:22 mark in the first quarter of the Packers’ 20-3 win. The penalty falls under the league’s “gameday accountability” umbrella and was subject to a fine.

Gary grabbed Rypien’s facemask and twisted the quarterback’s head while attempting to make a sack.

The financial loss isn’t a significant one for Gary, who signed a four-year, $96 million contract extension with the Packers in October.
