Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts wore two different shoes for last Sunday’s game against the Steelers and it will wind up costing him a little money.
Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that the league has fined Hurts $5,628 for violating the league’s uniform rules. Per the report, the specific violation was for wearing a shoe that was not one of the team’s “constitutional team colors.”
It’s not the first time that Hurts has worn mismatched shoes this season. During an October game against the Bengals, one of Hurts’s shoes came off during a play and he had to use a timeout to put on a different one because he couldn’t get the original one back on in time.
That situation didn’t lead to the same hit to Hurts’s wallet that the premeditated footwear choice did, but neither development did anything to hinder the quarterback’s game.
