Marcus Peters wants to talk on Marshawn Lynch's behalf at appeal

Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Marcus Peters wants to speak on Marshawn Lynch's behalf at the Oakland Raiders running back's hearing to appeal his one-game suspension, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Peters would speak via telephone if he can make it work with his schedule, the source said.

Fox Sports first reported that Peters planned to speak on Lynch's behalf.

Lynch was suspended for running from the sidelines during a scrum Thursday night and bumping an official in the chest and then grabbing him by the jersey before letting go and tending to Peters.
