The specifics of their conduct were not disclosed by the Colts.

The untimely suspensions came as a surprise to many, as both Brown and McKenzie were healthy scratches in the Colts' recent victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. With only three games left in the regular season, these suspensions could have significant implications for the team as they fight to secure a playoff spot.

Currently sitting at the No. 7 seed in the AFC, the 8-6 Colts are determined to maintain their playoff position. Brown, a fifth-year professional, has appeared in 12 games this season, starting in one. During his time on the field, he has contributed with one interception, one forced fumble, one pass defensed, and 10 tackles.

Meanwhile, McKenzie, a seventh-year pro, has made appearances in 13 games, with two starts under his belt. Besides his role as a wide receiver, he has been the team's primary return specialist. McKenzie has recorded 11 catches for 82 yards and has amassed 204 yards on 23 punt returns, averaging 8.9 yards per return. He has also demonstrated his skills on kickoffs, returning six for a total of 152 yards, boasting an average of 25.3 yards per return.

The suspension of two key players at this crucial point in the season raises questions about the impact it will have on the Colts' performance. As the team aims to solidify their playoff berth, the absence of Brown and McKenzie will undoubtedly challenge the resilience and depth of their roster.

It remains to be seen how the Colts will cope with the loss of these players in their bid for postseason success. However, their suspension serves as a reminder that detrimental conduct within the team will not be tolerated, as the organization strives for a united and focused approach.
