After Donald Penn was named as a suspect in a domestic violence incident involving his wife, the pair issued a joint statement denying there was any physical altercation.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ Sports police were called to the home of the Oakland Raiders offensive lineman Sunday night.

The report alleges Penn slapped his wife's backside, grabbed her by the wrist, and poured a drink over her head during an argument. He was apparently no longer at his home by the time police arrived.

Penn and his wife, Dominique, have since responded to that report, issuing a statement saying there was no physical altercation.

The 35-year-old started 14 games for the Raiders last year and has two years left on his contract.
