Oakland Raiders coach Tom Cable will be subject to NFL discipline if he is implicated by police in their investigation of an alleged assault on an assistant coach.

Workplace violence is specifically identified in the league’s personal conduct policy, and if Cable is charged with any crimes, he could be punished by the NFL, Commissioner Roger Goodell said Tuesday.

Goodell expects to receive a report “in the next couple weeks” on the Napa, Calif., police investigation, which is in the hands of the district attorney. The league is “allowing the criminal process to go forward for some period of time” before the NFL might get involved, he said.

Goodell asked at the fall owners meetings, “What are the facts? There’s a legal and criminal process going on to determine what are the facts.”

Napa County district attorney Gary Lieberstein said his office continues to review the case and does not expect any announcement on whether charges will be filed this week.
