ALAMEDA — If Nevin Lawson returns to the Raiders in 2020, he’ll be sitting out Week 1.
The Raiders cornerback received a one-game suspension Monday for swinging his helmet at an opposing player in the final moments of a 16-15 loss to the Denver Broncos in the regular season finale.
Lawson, 28, was ejected following an onsides kick by the Raiders Daniel Carlson which was recovered by the Broncos after the Raiders had failed on a two-point conversion attempt to win the game. A 15-yard penalty was enforced, and Denver’s Drew Lock kneeled on the ball to end the game.
