The NFL fined Cameron Heyward for wearing eye black honoring his father, former NFL fullback Craig "Ironhead" Heyward against the Chargers.

Heyward's father battled cancer and died in May 2006. Heyward wore the words "Iron" and "Head" under his eyes, resulting in what a source says is a $5,787 fine.

"To lose a person like that due to cancer, for cancer awareness, I don't think it should be a big deal at all," Heyward said after Wednesday's practice.
