Colts wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie and cornerback Tony Brown suspended three games

INDIANAPOLIS—The Colts have suspended wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie and cornerback Tony Brown for three games for conduct detrimental to the team, the organization announced on Tuesday afternoon.

McKenzie and Brown were both healthy scratches for Saturday’s game against the Steelers, but the team placed the two players on the reserve/suspended list for three games, the rest of the regular season. They will each lose $190,588 in salary.

No further details on the suspensions were provided by the team.

Both veteran players have made most of their impacts on special teams this season.

McKenzie has played sparingly on offense this season, making 11 catches for 82 yards and carrying three times for 14 yards in a little more than 100 snaps.

The veteran has spent most of the season as the team’s primary return man, averaging 8.9 yards per punt and 25.3 yards per kick, although he has also fumbled twice as the team’s punt returner.

Rookie Josh Downs averaged 12.7 yards in McKenzie’s place on punt return against the Steelers. 

Brown has played just 56 snaps defensively— 55 coming in a start against New Orleans — but has been a key member of special teams, making three tackles and forcing a fumble by Tennessee punter Ryan Stonehouse.
