September 16, 2009
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — The NFL has assessed $125,000 in fines to the New York Jets and former coach Eric Mangini for violating the league's rules on injury reporting with former quarterback Brett Favre last season.

The Jets failed to place Favre on the injury report during the final month of last season even though he had a torn biceps tendon.
The league announced Wednesday that it had fined the Jets $75,000, and Mangini and Jets president Mike Tannenbaum $25,000 apiece.
Mangini now coaches the Cleveland Browns.
Last week, Tannenbaum admitted the Jets should have listed Favre as "probable" on their injury reports.
