#Raiders could be in even more trouble amid NFL probe

The Las Vegas Raiders are under fire for another coronavirus protocol violation.

Less than a week after head coach Jon Gruden violated the NFL’s mask mandate, which the league fined him $100,000 and the Raiders $250,000 for, the organization is now under investigation by the league for allowing unauthorized locker room access, according to ESPN.

The alleged violation came after Monday night’s 34-24 win over the New Orleans Saints. ESPN reports that an unauthorized team employee entered the Raiders’ locker room without the credentials to do so.

The NFL and the NFL Players Association, with help from state and federal committees, constructed strict regulations regarding access in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Only 40 employees in each organization are allowed to be in the locker room this season, according to the NFL policy distributed to all teams.

The league is expected to enforce this limitation and will impose discipline for violations, per ESPN.

Only players, coaching staff, athletic training staff, equipment staff, general manager and one member of the team’s public relations/communication department are permitted access to locker rooms this season.
