    Raiders' Players Won't Be Suspended Following Scuffle Against The Chargers

    During the Raiders' Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, things got chippy towards the end of the fourth quarter. In a division rivalry game , it's hardly shocking to see tensions rise and physical altercations occur.

    A fight broke out on Sunday, and Raiders cornerback Jack Jones and Chargers wide receiver Josh Palmer were ejected. Multiple players were involved from both teams, but only Jones and Palmer suffered the consequences.

    However, Raiders and Chargers fans alike can breathe some relief: as Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapaport reported, no one will be suspended for the fight that broke out.

    There's no word yet on how much the fines would be if imposed. What matters now is that both teams won't lose players as they head into Week 2.

    The Raiders will travel to Baltimore to take on the Ravens, and the Chargers will travel to Charlotte to take on the Panthers. Las Vegas will be thrilled to have Jack Jones on the field to help defend against Lamar Jackson, one of the most dynamic quarterbacks in the NFL.
