The Canadian Football League has fined two players for actions in Week 5 of the 2026 season.
Toronto Argonauts defensive end Andrew Chatfield was punished for a high hit on Calgary quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. in their 58-36 loss to the Stampeders. Chatfield, who finished the game with two tackles and a sack, was assessed a roughing the passer penalty on the play, which came early in the fourth quarter.
Hamilton Tiger-Cats tight end Maximilian Mang was also disciplined for striking Winnipeg defender David Reese in the third quarter of their 14-13 loss to the Bombers. The German citizen was flagged for unnecessary roughness as a result of the interaction. He finished the game with one catch for three yards.
The CFL’s 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.
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.
