A Raiders spokesman said the team was "in the process of gathering information" and had no further comment.
New committee. Former New York Giants general manager Ernie Accorsi has been hired as a consultant to the NFL and will cochair a new general managers' advisory committee.
NFL executive vice president Ray Anderson said Accorsi would focus on assisting the league in monitoring compliance with rules and policies, and achieving better communication with senior club football personnel.
The advisory committee will provide advice on protecting and supporting the integrity of the game, expanded use of technology, player development and scouting opportunities, and ways to improve the Pro Bowl, scouting combine, NFL draft and preseason.
The committee also will include the Eagles' Tom Heckert, Jerry Angelo of the Chicago Bears, Kevin Colbert (Pittsburgh Steelers), Rod Graves (Arizona Cardinals), James Harris (Jacksonville Jaguars), Marty Hurney (Carolina Panthers), Mickey Loomis (New Orleans Saints), Carl Peterson (Kansas City Chiefs), Jerry Reese (Giants), Tim Ruskell (Seattle Seahawks), Rick Smith (Houston Texans), and Mike Tannenbaum (New York Jets).
Falcons. Reserve safety Daren Stone was arrested on a drunken-driving charge in Atlanta. Police said the second-year player was taken into custody early Sunday morning. No other information about the traffic stop was immediately available.
Falcons spokesman Reggie Roberts declined comment.
Texans. Free-agent linebacker Rosevelt Colvin signed with Houston, giving the team another pass rusher to pair with Mario Williams. Colvin spent five years with the New England Patriots and was a member of two Super Bowl winners. He was released in February.
Seahawks. Defensive tackle Rocky Bernard will have a domestic-violence charge erased from his record if he has no contact with an ex-girlfriend for the next two years and attends domestic-violence treatment, a municipal court judge ruled in Seattle. Bernard also must incur no other violations, own no firearms during that period, and undergo a drug and alcohol evaluation.
Bernard pleaded not guilty to a domestic-violence assault charge after he was accused of hitting his girlfriend in the head at a Seattle nightclub in April.
