"The Raiders are aware of an incident involving Roderic Teamer last night," the Raiders said in a statement. "The club is in the process of gathering more information and will have no further comment at this time."

Teamer, 26, had just been activated off of the injured reserve before the arrest.

He was an undrafted free agent out of Tulane when he joined the Los Angeles Chargers in 2019. He played in seven games and had an interception and 40 tackles.

He’s appeared in 40 games and recorded 103 tackles and one interception. He played 43 games for the Green Wave in college and had three career interceptions along with 198 tackles.
