Lawson issued an apology following the incident that occurred during the Bills' 37-34 loss to the Eagles in overtime on Nov. 26.
A video circulated on social media of Lawson approaching a spectator behind the Buffalo bench, exchanging words and then shoving the fan.
Lawson said the fan began heckling players before the game started and was allowed to remain in his seat even after Bills officials asked security to remove him.
"Eventually our emotions boiled over and I made a mistake," Lawson wrote the next day on Instagram. "For that, I apologize, but there are certain lines that should not be crossed.
"I love the crowd. I love rowdy fans. It makes the game fun. But one thing I'm not going to tolerate is someone threatening me or my family. This is a line that shouldn't be crossed."
Lawson, 29, has recorded one sack and 10 tackles in 11 games this season. He has 26 sacks in 104 games (37 starts) with the Bills (2016-19, 2022-present), Miami Dolphins (2020) and New York Jets (2021).
