The Kansas City Chiefs have been fined $100,000 due to a sideline incident involving tight end Peyton Hendershot during their season opener against the Baltimore Ravens. Hendershot, who was inactive for the game, pushed Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith after a play involving Patrick Mahomes. The league's fine was imposed for violating rules regarding inactive players' conduct. Hendershot himself was also fined an undisclosed amount following the altercation.

A missed call on a tripping penalty during the game between the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys potentially led to the controversial penalty that cost the Lions the game. The missed call occurred when the Cowboys intercepted Jared Goff and a run by Tony Pollard was called back due to a tripping penalty on Dallas tight end Peyton Hendershot. However, video review showed that it was actually Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson who should have been penalized for attempting to trip Pollard. The missed call gave the Cowboys another chance to score, which they did with a field goal, ultimately leading to the Lions' failed 2-point conversion attempt and their loss.

The Dallas Cowboys are expected to sign linebacker Rashaan Evans to the practice squad after a workout. This move comes as linebacker Leighton Vander Esch is moved to injured reserve due to a neck injury. Vander Esch's history of neck issues will lead the Cowboys to be cautious in his return. Evans, a 2018 first-round pick, spent last season with the Atlanta Falcons and signed with the Philadelphia Eagles in the offseason before being released from their practice squad. The Cowboys are thin at linebacker and may consider playing Micah Parsons in a different role. The team also has other linebackers and has used safeties in hybrid roles. The Cowboys may have more roster moves coming up due to injuries to other players.
