The New England Patriots' football operations department has reportedly been cleared of any wrongdoing in the case where a member of its video crew filmed the Cincinnati Bengals sideline in December.
Per Mark Maske of the Washington Post, the NFL's investigation has found no evidence that links Bill Belichick or any other member of the Patriots' football staff to the video.
Maske noted the league could complete its investigation as soon as this week, and "it remains likely" the Patriots will receive penalties consistent with similar situations that have occurred in recent years involving game-day infractions.
