The Tennessee Titans reportedly received a $350,000 fine for violating the NFL's COVID-19 protocol, and the Las Vegas Raiders may be next to receive punishment, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero.

The Raiders will be fined more than the Titans and possibly lose a draft pick, according to FOX's Jay Glazer.

Las Vegas would reportedly face a steeper punishment due to its prior history of failing to abide by protocols. The organization has already been fined multiple times after instances such as head coach Jon Gruden not wearing a mask on the sideline and allowing an unauthorized individual in the locker room.

The Raiders are currently under review by the NFL and union after it was reported that offensive lineman Trent Brown failed to consistently wear his contact-tracing device. Members of the offensive line also met in close vicinity without wearing masks.

The Titans' violations include instances in which the team failed to wear masks and insufficient communication about workouts outside the facility, Rapoport and Pelissero add.

Tennessee won't have any draft picks stripped, nor will any individual from the organization face punishment.
