NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan says he’s won his appeal of the NFL’s decision to fine him $50,000 for allegedly faking an injury during a game at Tampa Bay. And a person familiar with the situation says the NFL also has rescinded separate fines against the team, head coach Dennis Allen and co-defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen. The person spoke to the Associated Press about the team fines on condition of anonymity because the NFL has not announced the results of those appeals. Jordan also is questioning how the NFL handled the matter. Jordan said in a text message to The Associated Press on Thursday that the NFL didn’t seek his medical records until after he appealed.
