Cleveland Radio: Browns Sideline Reporter Suspended For 8 Games

Nathan Zegura
NFL Cleveland Browns sideline reporter Nathan Zegura has been banned from the team's radio broadcasts for eight games, beginning with tonight's game against the Jets, for sideline conduct during Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Saints.

Specifically, Zegura yelled at an NFL official over a call, league sources told cleveland.com.

The Browns senior media broadcaster, Zegura will be replaced on the sidelines Thursday night by Dustin Fox of WKRK 92.3 The Fan and the Cleveland Browns radio network. The Browns will determine how to proceed after that, and if all goes as planned, Zegura will be back on the job Nov. 25, the game after the bye week.

Zegura, co-host of Cleveland Browns Daily which airs from 1-3 Monday through Friday on WKNR ESPN 850, will also be removed from that show for two weeks.

A source said this is not the first time the Browns have had to reprimand Zegura, who was told by officials to move his location on the sidelines Sunday at the Superdome after yelling at one of them.

The NFL declined comment and referred questions to the team.
