Overview
- On Jan. 3, the NFL’s Gameday Accountability report fined Raiders linebacker Tommy Eichenberg $5,802 for unnecessary roughness at 12:29 of the fourth quarter against the Giants and defensive lineman Jonah Laulu $5,333 for a late hit at 6:36 of the fourth.
- Chiefs starting left guard Kingsley Suamataia was fined $8,108 for unnecessary roughness at 12:49 of the second quarter in the loss at Denver.
- Players are notified of violations and may appeal to former players Derrick Brooks, Ramon Foster or Jordy Nelson, and those rulings are final and binding.
- The monetary penalties do not include suspensions, so player availability for the Jan. 4 game at Allegiant Stadium remains unchanged.
- Context for the finale centers on draft positioning, with ESPN’s Brooke Pryor reporting Raiders ownership wants the No. 1 pick and CBS Sports’ Pete Prisco saying the team is pleased with that trajectory, while Raiders players this week also praised Travis Kelce’s career.
