"Green Bay Packers cornerback Pat Lee said Wednesday getting ejected for apparently throwing a punch against the Detroit Lions Thanksgiving Day may cost him $15,000.

Lee said his agent received notice from the NFL that his client was being fined $15,000 for his actions. Lee said he plans on appealing immediately in hopes of getting the amount reduced.

The play in question occurred on a punt return. Lee got locked up with Lions cornerback Aaron Berry and as he tried to break free, it appeared Berry threw a punch. Lee retaliated with what the officials saw as a punch and threw him out of the game.

Lee denies throwing a punch."
