According to a report from Charles Robinson, the NFL will fine the Las Vegas Raiders $500,000 and Jon Gruden $150,000 and strip the team of a 6th round draft pick for COVID-19 violations related to Trent Brown’s positive test in October. Robinson notes that the escalated fines and stripping of a draft pick were due to repeat offenses.
