NFL fines Cardinals' Kei'Trel Clark $6,651 over eye-black message

SB Nation

After Arizona's 31-7 loss to Seattle, Cardinals cornerback Kei'Trel Clark was fined $6,651 for writing “GLORY BE 2 GOD” alongside a peace symbol on his eye black; the NFL said it violated its uniform code. Clark questioned the fine on Instagram.

The article identifies the basis as Rule 5, Section 4, Article 8 of the NFL's 2026 rulebook, which covers unauthorized personal messages on eye black regardless of their content. Clark was also fined $5,797 in October 2025 for wearing a black streamer towel; the league permits only white licensed towels.

Clark wrote on Instagram, “I need answers. 6.6K for giving God the Glory.” He later shared a photo of himself wearing eye black marked “INSHALLAH” and said he would continue giving God the glory.
