Former Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs was denied parole nearly five years after killing a woman in a car crash in Las

What happened: The Nevada Board of Parole Commissioners denied parole for former Raiders receiver Henry Ruggs III on Thursday. Ruggs is currently serving a three-to-10-year sentence following a 2021 high-speed crash in Las Vegas that resulted in the death of 23-year-old Tina Tintor.

Why it matters: The ruling ensures Ruggs remains incarcerated nearly five years after the incident, as he won't be eligible for another hearing until 2027. The case remains a significant chapter in the ongoing culture shift for the Raiders in Las Vegas.

By the numbers: Sentencing: 3-10 years; Crash Speed: 156 mph; BAC: 0.16%; Mandatory Release Date: Aug. 24, 2027.

What to watch: Ruggs will remain in custody until his next parole eligibility window in 2027. He is expected to appear before the board approximately three months prior to his mandatory release.
