Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III has been fined $10,000 by the NFL for an apparel violation, a person familiar with the league’s action said.
The fine was assessed to Griffin for wearing unauthorized apparel during pregame warmups prior to Monday night’s preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers at FedEx Field, the person said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the fine had not been made public.
Players are prohibited from wearing unauthorized apparel during the period on game days when they are visible to the stadium and television audiences, including pregame warmups.
He did drills on the field before the game Monday night wearing a shirt that said, “Operation Patience,” which he said early in training camp he was calling the team’s plan to ease him back toward full-time duties.
