The San Diego Chargers fined safety Eric Weddle $10,000 and placed him on the injured reserve with a groin injury Monday, ending his season and possibly career with the team.

The team fined him staying out at halftime while watching his daughter perform at halftime in a program put on by the team’s cheerleading team during the game against the Miami Dolphins on Dec. 20.

Weddle did not ask for permission to watch his daughter perform, according to ESPN.  He had been fined  after the game, but the reasoning behind the fine was released Monday by his agent David Canter.

By the way the team fined @weddlesbeard last week for seeing his daughter perform at halftime but we didn’t disclose it BC were classy

Also on Monday, the team placed him on the injured reserve, and according to Canter, it was against Weddle’s wishes. He will not be traveling to Denver for this Sunday’s game against the Broncos.

Team has multiple players they aren’t putting on injured reserve that can not play this weekend but have decided to put @weddlesbeard on IR — DEC Management (@davidcanter) December 28, 2015

Team didn’t announce injured players couldn’t travel to Denver until after putting @weddlesbeard on IR. Said plane is to small. Hysterical

Before the season, the team decided not to extend Weddle’s contract, which expires after this season, and Canter said it would be Weddle’s last year with the team.

He has played nine seasons with the team and has been to three Pro Bowls and was a first-team All-Pro in 2011 and 2014.
