You're locked in to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
The NFL is sending a clear message that officials are not above accountability. Line judge Jeff Seeman has been handed a two-game suspension after a camera caught him appearing to curse directly at Cardinals tight end Trey McBride. McBride himself clocked the camera and pointed it out, and the league didn't waste time responding. A separate incident cost referee Adrian Hill one game following the Vikings-Dolphins matchup, making this a genuinely unprecedented moment of discipline aimed squarely at the officiating ranks.
Speaking of the Vikings, Minnesota has cut wide receiver Jeshaun Jones, placing him on waivers Monday. Jones had already missed the first three games of the season serving a suspension for violating the league's substances of abuse policy, and now he won't be finishing it in purple. The twenty-six-year-old came in as an undrafted free agent out of Maryland, but the path forward just got significantly narrower.
Down in Miami, the Dolphins have waived running back Carlos Washington Junior. The twenty-seven-year-old out of Southeastern Louisiana spent years grinding on practice squads, first with Atlanta and then catching on with Miami this past May. He never quite broke through to the active roster in a meaningful way, and now he's back on the market looking for his next shot.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
