Pittsburgh Steelers safety DeShon Elliott made his return to the field in Week 4 against the Minnesota Vikings after missing two games with a knee injury. Elliott made an immediate impact upon his return,
picking off Carson Wentz in a Steelers win. On top of being a major contributor in a win, though, Elliott was also hit with a fine from the NFL, as the safety himself made known on his Instagram story.
The NFL fined Elliott for wearing a black towel during the game, which is a dress code violation (players are allowed to wear towels, but white towels only). Because of this, Elliott was fined $5,797, and he was not happy.
“Count your f**** days,” Elliott posted on his story. “Yall worried about the wrong things. Let’s fix things that actually mean something.”
Elliott has been fined before while with the Miami Dolphins for unnecessary roughness on two unflagged hits. The fine in 2023 was over $50,000.
