Several players from the Raiders and Chargers have been issued fines by the NFL after a fight in the end zone late in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s season opener.
No suspensions were issued, though Raiders cornerback Jack Jones and Chargers receiver Joshua Palmer were ejected from the game for their actions. Palmer was blocking Jones away from the play when the situation escalated.
Palmer was fined $11,255 for his role in starting the fracas, which happened after a failed 2-point conversion play with the Chargers leading 22-10. Jones was docked $5,472
Three other Raiders defenders received fines for entering the fray late.
Defensive end Maxx Crosby and defensive tackle Christian Wilkins got hit with $11,255 fines, while safety Marcus Epps received the largest penalty of $11,817.
