The play was not penalized, and it is unclear what occurred to merit the fine.<\/p>\n<p>The five-foot-11, 292-pound rookie recorded one tackle in the game, bringing his season total up to two. He has also contributed offensively as a fullback on short-yardage.<\/p>\n<p>3DownNation Newsletter<\/p>\n<p>\t\tToday\u2019s CFL news in your inbox every day at 3 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>\t\tBy signing up you agree to receive daily emails from 3DownNation, as well as our<br \/>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/3downnation.com\/terms-of-service\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">terms of service<\/a> and<br \/>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/3downnation.com\/privacy-policy\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">privacy policy<\/a>.

Bond was forced to leave the game with a knee injury.<\/p>\n<p>The six-foot-three, 185-pound cornerback recorded three defensive tackles. He has made 17 tackles in seven games this year.<\/p>\n<p>The CFL\u2019s department of health, safety, and integrity manages league discipline involving fines. The committee includes chief football officer Greg Dick, vice-president of officiating Darren Hackwood, associate vice-president of football operations Ryan Janzen, and associate vice-president of health and safety Eric Noivo.<\/p>\n<p>As per league policy, the league does not announce the dollar amount of fines, discipline related to dress code violations, discipline involving teams or staff, or discipline involving players who have been released. The maximum allowable fine under the collective bargaining agreement is half the value of a game cheque.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"60\" height=\"60\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/0603-3Down-logo-600x600.jpg\" class=\"avatar avatar-60 photo\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/3downnation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/3DownNation-Wordmark-v3-3.svg\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo: Bob Butrym\/RFB Sport Photography \/ 3DownNation.
