The NFL socked it to Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster for a violation of the league’s uniform policy.
Smith-Schuster revealed Tuesday he was fined $5,000 because his socks “failed to coverage your leg,” according to a letter he received from the NFL. The uniform infraction occurred in the Steelers’ game at the Tennessee Titans in Week 7.
Smith-Schuster posted the letter, which was dated Oct. 29, on his verified Instagram account. Smith-Schuster said running back James Conner also was fined $5,000 for a uniform violation.
Smith-Schuster and Conner can appeal their fines.
