Wide receivers D.J. Moore and Curtis Samuel, rookie defensive tackle Derrick Brown and linebacker Shaq Thompson are the players who were fined. The rule they violated was gathering off-site from the team facility over the bye week.

Moore is still currently on the team’s reserve/COVID-19 list and missed Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos. Starting defensive tackle Zach Kerr is on the list, as well. The other players have all been activated.
