Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Carl Nassib, who came out publicly as gay in June, was granted a personal day Wednesday following the fallout of Jon Gruden's resignation, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.
Raiders general manager Mike Mayock said Nassib requested the time because he has "a lot to process."
Gruden stepped down as head coach of the Raiders Tuesday after the contents of emails in which he used anti-gay, sexist and racist language were published by the New York Times' Ken Belson and Katherine Rosman.
