The Saints issued a statement on Saturday in response to facing league discipline following allegations that defensive lineman Cameron Jordan faked an injury against the Buccaneers in Week 13.
The NFL fined Jordan $50,000, head coach Dennis Allen $100,000, defensive line coach Ryan Nielsen $50,000 and the Saints organization $350,000 after reportedly reviewing video showing the team directing the Pro Bowler to fake a lower body injury in the fourth quarter, according to ProFootballTalk. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported all four are expected to appeal.
In a statement issued on the team’s official website, the Saints denied the allegations and confirmed they plan to appeal the fine.
