Oct 16, 2019 11:03 AM

Trent Brown has been accused of multiple acts of domestic violence against his girlfriend as part of a lawsuit.

Brown signed with the Oakland Raiders from the New England Patriots this past offseason on a four-year, $66 million deal.

According to the lawsuit, the two began dating in March 2017 and had a child together in January 2019. According to the woman, the couple had a "non-marital partnership agreement."

The woman accused Brown of slapping, punching and choking her on multiple occasions beginning in 2018. She said she has been "bruised, bloodied and battered" from the attacks and lived in fear of Brown.

Brown could be subject to NFL discipline under the personal conduct policy.

Derek Carr: Vontaze Burfict's Ban Isn't Fair

Oct 3, 2019 2:47 AM

Raiders quarterback Derek Carr offered an impassioned defense of suspended middle linebacker Vontaze Burfict in London on Wednesday, and coach Jon Gruden told reporters he is "not happy ... at all" with the NFL's decision to sideline Burfict for the remainder of the season.

Carr said Burfict is "one of the most misunderstood people in the NFL" and had become one of his favorite teammates in their short time together.

"I don't think he was trying to hurt that man; the man was going down," Carr said of Burfict's helmet-to-helmet hit on Colts tight end Jack Doyle on Sunday, which triggered the suspension a day later
