As it turns out, Jeremy Chinn isn’t the only Panthers player whose wallet is a little lighter after last week’s loss to the Vikings. In addition to Chinn’s $5,606 fine for dunking after his first touchdown, two other Carolina players have been fined by the league for unnecessary roughness penalties against Minnesota.
According to Joe Person at the Athletic, running back Trenton Cannon ($20,000) and starting guard John Miller ($10,000) have been fined, as well.
It was an expensive day for the Panthers in Minneapolis.
Trenton Cannon and John Miller were fined $20,000 and $10,000 respectively for unnecessary roughness penalties.
Cannon’s was more as a second-time offender.— Joe Person (@josephperson) December 6, 2020
Cannon has made a habit of special teams penalties lately, as have the Panthers in general. He split carries with Mike Davis and Rodney Smith against the Vikings, but likely won’t see much of the field anymore once Christian McCaffrey returns to the lineup after the bye week, at least on offense.
As for Miller, this was his third penalty of the season. He has performed adequately well at right guard in the 10 games he’s been active, though.
