Nathan Shepherd was fined by the NFL for Week 8's game against the Chargers.
Both Shepherd and Chargers offensive lineman Bradley Bozeman received flags on the play. No suspensions came as a result of the play, and Saints head coach Dennis Allen gave his opinion on whether or not there was intent to injure Herbert.
"I think it's not accurate," Allen said. "Here's a guy that's trying to wrap the quarterback up. He's on the ground, he has no idea whether the quarterback has the ball or not. He's just trying to bring the quarterback down to the ground,. There was nothing malicious about that play. It's a guy that's trying to make the play. I went back and looked at that play again after seeing the comments and I don't agree with that.
