Raiders Lose Draft Pick For COVID-19 Protocol Violations
4 years agoThe NFL fined the Las Vegas Raiders $500,000 more, head coach Jon Gruden another $150,000 and took away the team's 2021 sixth-round pick for repeated COVID-19 protocol violations, according to Yahoo's Charles Robinson. The protocol violations were related to right tackle Trent Brown's positive COVID-19 test in late October. They become the first team in the NFL to have been disciplined for a violation of COVID-19 protocols with the loss of a draft pick. It's the fourth incident in which the Raiders have been fined, and they've now been penalized $1.2 million for coronavirus-related infractions.
