Green Bay Packers left guard Jon Runyan Jr. probably didn’t appreciate hearing from his father this week.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Runyan Jr. received a letter from his father, Jon Runyan Sr., notifying him that he had been fined $5,215 for an unpenalized unnecessary roughness incident during last week’s loss to the New York Giants.
Runyan Sr., who enjoyed a 14-year career as a player, is the NFL’s vice president of policy and rules adminstration and handles on-field discipline for the league.
According to ESPN, Runyan Jr. is being fined for leg-whipping a Giants player during the first quarter of the Packers’ 27-22 loss to the Giants at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
Runyan Jr. is appealing the fine.
