Raiders Fined For Violations of Covid-19 Protocols

The Las Vegas Raiders have been fined $500,000 and stripped of a sixth-round pick in the 2021 draft for “brazen and repeated violations” of the Covid-19 protocols, ESPN reported Thursday. Head coach Jon Gruden was also fined an additional $150,000.

The Raiders are the first team to lose a draft pick for coronavirus violations. The NFL began investigating after offensive tackle Trent Brown tested positive in October.

The Raiders had previously been fined $250,000 and Gruden $100,000 for him not wearing his mask properly during their Week 2 game, and 10 players, including quarterback Derek Carr, were fined for appearing at a charity event in October where they mixed with others and didn't wear masks.
