The Seattle Seahawks left Week 4 with a 23-20 win over the Arizona Cardinals, but running back Kenneth Walker III left Glendale with a hefty fine.
The NFL fined Walker for his unsportsmanlike conduct penalty in the second quarter, NFL insider Tom Pelissero reported. Walker got up after a short run and pointed at cornerback Kei'Trel Clark, who tackled him, before throwing the ball at Clark.
Walker's throwing the ball earned him the penalty, and likely the fine, but it was a reaction to Clark pulling his ankle after the tackle. Expand Tweet
Pelissero noted that Clark did not receive a fine for his involvement in the controversial play.
The $11,593 fine accounts for less than one percent of Walker's annual salary. The Michigan State alum is raking in $1,856,125 in the final year
