The NFL handed suspensions to two referees for unprofessional conduct toward players after a line judge was caught on video appearing to curse at Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride during a game. The NFL Players Association condemned the conduct.

The video footage quickly spread online, putting pressure on the league to take action. The NFL responded quickly, confirming the suspensions in a release to reporters. Officials are rarely suspended, making the decision significant by league standards.

In a related roster move, the Seattle Seahawks are bringing in veteran running back Joe Mixon to their practice squad. Mixon adds depth to a backfield that has been looking for help.
