The NFL will fine a group of players, including the Pittsburgh Steelers' James Harrison, for violating the league's gambling policy, NFL Network Insider's Ian Rapoport reported.

The players attended the Pro Football Arm Wrestling Championship at the MGM Grand Resort in Las Vegas, according to NFL.com.

Players’ participation in promotional events at casinos is barred by the NFL’s gambling policy, according to NFL.com.

Rapoport said Kenny Stills, Marquette King, NaVorro Bowman and Patrick Chung are among the other players who will be fined, in addition to Harrison.

The Steelers’ Maurkice Pouncey was also reportedly at the event.
