Arizona Cardinals linebacker Chandler Jones was fined $10,300 for lifting up his jersey to reveal a tribute to Freddie Joe Nunn during a 31-17 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, per Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio.

Jones revealed an "RIP Freddie Joe Nunn" T-shirt after sacking 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to become Arizona's all-time sack leader with 67 sacks across six seasons.
