What happened: The NFL suspended Arizona Cardinals director of college scouting Ryan Gold indefinitely for violating the league's gambling policy. Rob Maaddi first reported the suspension, with Adam Schefter confirming the news.

Why it matters: The move removes a senior scouting voice from the Cardinals' front office as the team works through roster and personnel decisions heading into the 2026 season. Indefinite gambling-policy suspensions carry no set timetable for reinstatement under NFL precedent.

What to watch: Watch for the NFL to detail the length of Gold's suspension and for the Cardinals to address the vacancy in their scouting department.
