Oakland running back Marshawn Lynch has been suspended for one game without pay by the NFL for shoving a game official during the Raiders' win over Kansas City on Thursday.
Lynch was ejected from the game after he shoved line judge Julian Mapp.
The scuffle started when Oakland quarterback Derek Carr was hit late on a run by the Chiefs' Marcus Peters mid way through the second quarter.
Raiders offensive linemen Kelechi Osemele and Donald Penn immediately confronted Peters, and Lynch sprinted onto the field from the bench to join the fray.
Mapp tried to break up the fight, but Lynch pushed him and grabbed his jersey.
Lynch will be eligible to return to Oakland's active roster on October 30, the day after the Raiders' game against the Buffalo Bills.
The 31-year-old came out of retirement this season and was traded from Seattle to the Raiders.
Lynch said he wanted to make a comeback so he could give something back to his hometown of Oakland before the Raiders move to Las Vegas in 2020.
