Report: Marcus Peters plans to back up Marshawn Lynch in suspension appeal

The friendly/familial bond between Marcus Peters and Marshawn Lynch goes so far that the Chiefs cornerback reportedly wants to help the Raiders star in an appeal against his NFL suspension.

According to multiple national reports, Peters will speak on behalf of Lynch at the running back's upcoming appeal of a one-game ban he received after racing onto the field Thursday.

A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that Peters will speak over the phone if he cannot attend in person.

Peters and Lynch are each Oakland natives who found themselves in a controversial situation during the Raiders-Chiefs game Thursday.

Following a play in which Peters hit Raiders quarterback Derek Carr, Oakland's offensive line seemed riled up at Peters _ and Lynch ran onto the field, allegedly to help ease the tension, but wound up grabbing an official. That led to his one-game suspension handed down by the league on Friday and reportedly appealed quickly.
