Latest on NFL Network Lawsuit: Donovan McNabb, Eric Davis Suspended by ESPN

Donovan McNabb and Eric Davis, former N.F.L. players who host shows on ESPN Radio, were suspended by the network on Tuesday morning as the fallout continued from a lawsuit claiming sexual harassment and assault.

“We are investigating and McNabb and Davis will not appear on our networks as that investigation proceeds,” an ESPN spokesman said in a statement.

NFL Network on Monday suspended the analysts Marshall Faulk, Heath Evans and Ike Taylor “pending an investigation,” in response to the suit.

The allegations were made in a lawsuit by a former NFL Network employee, Jami Cantor, who sued NFL Enterprises, the league’s media arm that operates the network, in Los Angeles Superior Court in October, claiming age and sex discrimination, sexual harassment and hostile work environment, and wrongful termination, among other complaints.
