A National Football League (NFL) defensive assistant coach reportedly suffered a broken jaw last week at the hands of the head coach, according to his lawyer John McGuinn on Monday.
Randy Hanson, who’s been on paid leave since the incident, told a Napa Valley Police Department detective last week that Oakland Raiders head coach Tom Cable struck him in the jaw, suffering a fracture. Hanson has also been told to stay away from the team’s facilities.
Reports from players indicated the alleged assault occurred during a coaches meeting during an August 5th training camp workout; McGuinn claims 3 defensive coaches were in the meeting room at the time of the incident.
After being interviewed for 90 minutes by a detective on Friday, Hanson turned over his medical records regarding the broken jaw. The NFL says it is investigating the incident.
