The NFL has rescinded the $14,926 fine it imposed on 49ers FB Kyle “Juice” Juszczyk for what it thought was a distastefu Via @AdamSchefter on X

What happened: The league withdrew the penalty after ruling the gesture simulated drinking a juice box. The motion referenced his 'Juice' nickname rather than beer.

Why it matters: The decision closes the appeal of the beer-chug celebration fine and returns $14,926 to the fullback. It draws a clearer line between prohibited alcohol-themed celebrations and personal-nickname gestures.

What to watch: Watch for any updated celebration guidance in the league's weekly officiating video.
