Raiders' Jones arrested in Las Vegas
Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Chandler Jones has been arrested on accusations of violating a domestic violence temporary protection order, authorities said.
Vegas-area police arrested Jones, 33, early Friday. He's being held at the Clark County Detention Center with bail set at $15,000, according to online records. Jones has not played for the Raiders this season.
He's scheduled to appear in court Dec. 4. Attorney Peter Christiansen in Las Vegas said he represents Jones. He declined to comment about Jones' arrest.
HAMLIN MIGHT PLAY >> Buffalo starting safety Jordan Poyer was ruled out from playing Miami on Sunday, potentially opening the door for Damar Hamlin to appear in his first regular season game since going into cardiac arrest during a game in January.
Poyer's absence will likely lead to primary backup Taylor Rapp filling the starting spot alongside Micah Hyde. The injury could also lead to Hamlin making his season debut after being a healthy inactive through the first three games.
GAMBLING POLICY UPDATED >> The NFL has revised its gambling policy and is reinstating three players who previously received longer suspensions. Tennessee's Nicholas Petit-Frere and Detroit's Jameson Williams can return to their teams on Monday. Free agent Stanley Berryhill will be eligible to participate in all activities, including games, starting Tuesday. All three players were initially suspended six games.
The new policy reduces the punishment for gambling on non-NFL sports from within team facilities to two games.
The minimum suspension for gambling on NFL games becomes one year and betting on your team has been raised to two years. CONSERVATORSHIP ENDED >> A Tennessee judge is ending a conservatorship agreement between former NFL player Michael Oher and a Memphis couple who took him in when he was in high school.
Shelby County Probate Court Judge Kathleen Gomes said she is terminating the agreement reached in 2004 that allowed Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy to control Oher's finances. Oher signed the agreement when he was 18 and living with the couple as he was being recruited by
colleges as a star high school football player.
Gomes said she was not dismissing the case. Oher has asked that the Tuohys provide a financial accounting of money that may have come to them as part of the agreement, claiming that they used his name, image and likeness to enrich themselves and lied to him that the agreement meant the Tuohys were adopting him.

His addition fills the last of the three available two-way spots now held by guard Lester Quiñones and forward Usman Garuba. Robinson, 26, is familiar with the Warriors' system as a training camp invite last season. Though he didn't make the cut, he signed with the G League affiliate Santa Cruz Warriors in January.
Robinson was selected 13th overall out of Boston College by the Clippers in the 2018 NBA Draft, but was traded to the Washington Wizards in 2020 and hasn't settled on an NBA roster since.
PRIMO SUSPENDED >> The NBA suspended former Spurs guard Joshua Primo for four games without pay for conduct detrimental to the league.

Primo, who signed a two-way contract with the Clippers on Friday, insists his conduct was not intentional, the league said, and investigators found no evidence that he engaged in any misconduct apart from the brief exposures.
