What happened: Gold's attorney called the accusations “blatantly false” after the Cardinals' director of college scouting was suspended last week. The league said its review included interviews and electronic records and found no indication that any game or play was affected.

Why it matters: The challenge puts Gold's indefinite ban into the NFL appeals process. The dispute reaches into Arizona's scouting operation ahead of training camp.

By the numbers: Gold is entering his 13th season with Arizona. He was promoted to director of college scouting in June 2025 after three seasons as assistant director.

What to watch: The NFL must decide whether to uphold, reduce or overturn the suspension.
