Las Vegas Raiders players react to Jon Gruden's 2011 emails as coach apologizes again

LAS VEGAS -- Raiders players offered defense, indifference and a no comment Sunday when it came to coach Jon Gruden and his 10-year-old inflammatory emails that came to light over the weekend. And Gruden again apologized for his language, including a racist comment, in the missives.

Gruden and his players spoke in the wake of the Raiders' 20-9 loss to the Chicago Bears at Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas' second straight lackluster defeat after opening 3-0.

"I've been around this guy for three years now, I've never felt a certain type of way about him," running back Josh Jacobs said of Gruden, who drafted him in the first round out of Alabama in 2019.
