NFL Fines 49ers Fullback Kyle Juszczyk Over Post-Catch Celebration

Dothan, AL, September 24, 2026 —

The National Football League has issued a fine to San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk following a post-catch celebration that the league deemed offensive. The exact circumstances and the amount of the fine were not immediately available, pending further league disclosures or team statements.

Juszczyk, a key player for the 49ers, reportedly addressed the incident, stating that his celebration involved consuming juice, not beer, as a clarification. The league’s decision to penalize the player centers on its interpretation of acceptable on-field conduct and player celebrations.

The NFL has established guidelines for player conduct, which include rules against celebrations that are deemed unsportsmanlike, excessively provocative, or that violate league policy. Such penalties can result in financial penalties levied against the player or, in some cases, the team.

Details regarding the specific play during which the celebration occurred, the opponent, and the game in which it took place were not provided in the initial summary of the event. The league office typically reviews such incidents before imposing disciplinary actions, including fines.

The contractor’s name was not provided. The fine amount was not provided. The NFL’s disciplinary process involves evaluating actions against the league’s established code of conduct. Players and teams are subject to these regulations throughout the season. Further information regarding the specific violation and penalty is expected to be released by the NFL or the San Francisco 49ers organization.
