The NFL is on the doorstep of its Sunday slate for Week 5 of the 2024 regular season. Before they kick off that action, however, a number of players are getting hit in the wallet for infractions they made over the previous week. That includes Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, who was fined for two separate infractions during the team’s Week 4 win over the New York Giants.
