(AP) — New England Patriots safety Patrick Chung has been indicted in New Hampshire on a charge of cocaine possession, according to court paperwork released Thursday. A Belknap County grand jury indicted the 32-year-old Chung on Aug. 8. Members of the Meredith, New Hampshire, police depart- ment were called to Chung’s residence June 25 “on a call for service” and obtained evidence leading to the felony drug charge, Belknap County Attorney Andrew Livernois said in a statement. Livernois declined to provide additional details on the case. Chung’s arraignment is scheduled for Wednesday. It was not clear whether Chung has an attorney who can speak for him. The court fi le doesn’t list one. “We are aware of the reports regarding Patrick Chung,” the Patriots tweeted . “We will not be commenting while his judicial proceedings take place.” Chung did not play in Thursday night’s exhibition game against the Carolina Panthers, and he did not appear to be on the sideline in uniform. After the game, coach Bill Belich- ick would not answer a question about his status. Brady leads Patriots past Panthers FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Tom Brady did just enough in his fi rst preseason action of his 20th NFL season to keep other teams guessing as they prepare to face the 42-year-old, six-time Super Bowl champion. Brady completed 8 of 12 passes for 75 yards in three offensive possessions, leaving after driving the defending champions to the only touchdown in a 10-3 victory over the Carolina Panthers on Thursday night. The 15-play, 85-yard drive was kept alive when the notoriously slow-footed Brady scrambled for three yards on third-and-3 from the Panthers 41 on the fi rst snap of the second quarter. “To get a fi rst down conversion on my scrambling, I’m sure the defensive coordinator is like ‘What the heck?’” Brady said. “I revel in that,” the quarterback added. “Hopefully, I can do that once a game. I think I’d be good with that.” A three-time MVP who has passed for more than 70,000 yards, Brady is surely headed to the Pro Football Hall of Fame when he fi nally retires. Jones leads TD drive in Giants’ win CINCINNATI (AP) — Daniel Jones completed a diffi cult week with an upbeat performance that will shush the doubt- ers for a while. Jones completed a pair of long passes and led the New York Giants to a touchdown during a 25-23 victory over the Bengals on Thursday night in Zac Taylor’s fi rst home game as Cincinnati’s head coach. “I think it’s time to start asking some questions of the people that didn’t like him,” coach Pat Shurmur said. In a GQ article published Tuesday, Browns quarterback Baker Mayfi eld said he was stunned that the Giants drafted the quarterback from Duke in the fi rst round. Mayfi eld tried to tamp down the comment and texted Jones to explain his remarks. “He just told me it was a miscommunication, a misinter- pretation of what he said,” Jones said. FRIDAY, AUGUST 23, 2019 NFL FOOTBALL Raiders edge Packers on short field WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) — Billed as a chance to get Canadian football fans a close-up look at NFL superstars like Aaron Rodgers, Thursday night’s exhibition between the Oakland Raid- ers and Green Bay Packers sure gave them something they’ve never seen. Daniel Carson kicked a 33-yard fi eld goal with 8 seconds remaining, and the Oakland Raiders earned a bizarre 22-21 preseason victory over the Green Bay Packers on a fi eld that was shortened to 80 yards over concerns about player safety. End zones were marked by bright orange pylons at the 10-yard lines and there were no kickoffs. The fi eld was reconfi gured because of concerns about the areas where the goal posts for the CFL’s Winnipeg franchise are usually located. Before warmups, game offi cials and staff from both clubs were on the fi eld examining the patches of turf that covered the spots where the goal posts for 110-yard CFL games were removed. The goal posts were moved from spots that would have been inside the NFL end zones. Packers coach Matt LaFleur decided to sit 33 players, including star quarter- back Aaron Rodgers and running back Aaron Jones. Rodgers hasn’t played in the preseason. Oakland didn’t play starters includ- ing quarterback Derek Carr or receiver Antonio Brown. “We were going to have all our start- ers play, and it was just one of those deals,” LaFleur said. “We certainly have all played on much worse surfaces in our life, but it was just one of those deals where they weren’t playing their starters and so we just decided to sit them.” Packers quarterback Tim Boyle said he checked out a turf-covered spot dur- ing warmup. “It was just a little raised,” Boyle said. “But it’s something you don’t really want to play around with, especially guys who, this is their living. This puts food on the table for them, so you don’t want to mess around with injuries.” Oakland coach Jon Gruden said the playing surface didn’t concern him. “I’m not going to make a big deal about the fi eld,” Gruden said. “We liked the fi eld. We thought the fi eld was perfectly ready to roll. You’ll have to ask Green Bay about that.” The Raiders decided to move one of their two home exhibition games to Winnipeg in a move that saved them $500,000 in rent at the Oakland Coli- seum. The team is planning to move to Las Vegas in 2020. It was the fi rst NFL game in Canada since the Buffalo Bills faced the Atlanta Falcons in December 2013 to fi nish a run of eight games in Toronto. Tim Boyle, Rodgers’ backup, threw a 23-yard touchdown pass to Trevor Davis and a 26-yarder to Jake Kumerow. Tra Carson ran for a touchdown for the Packers, and Green Bay led 21-10 at halftime. The Raiders’ Nathan Peterman threw two touchdown passes, including a 17-yarder to De’Mornay Pierson-El in the fourth quarter that cut Green Bay’s lead to 21-19. His 2-point conversion attempt was intercepted. Peterman fi nished 23 of 37 for 210 yards. UP NEXT Packers: Conclude their preseason schedule by hosting the Kansas City Chiefs next Thursday night. Raiders: At Seattle next Thursday night. Orioles set mark for home runs allowed BALTIMORE (AP) — For a while, there’s been no doubt the Baltimore Orioles would set a dubious record for the most home runs allowed in a season. It was just a matter of where and when. And that came early Thursday night when Tam- pa Bay’s Austin Meadows sent a drive sailing over the right fi eld scoreboard at Camden Yards. Much later, the Rays fi nished off a rain-delayed, 5-2 win that ended shortly before 1 a.m. Friday. About 200 fans were left for the fi nal out. Meadows hit the record- setting 259th home run off Baltimore this year — the last-place Orioles began the day tied with the 2016 Cincinnati Reds for the highest total in big league history. Meadows connected in the third. A couple innings after that, Willy Adames added No. 260.
