The NFL upheld its one-game suspension for Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans for his role in Sunday’s brawl with New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore, and former head coach Bruce Arians also received a warning from the league for his behavior on the sidelines. 

Sources told ESPN Arians, who now serves as the Bucs' senior football consultant after stepping down as head coach in March, was sent a warning from the league cautioning him that similar behavior in the future would result in discipline for him and the club.

Arians expressed his frustrations on the sideline when officials didn’t call Lattimore for pass interference. Prior to his altercation with Evans, which resulted in both players being ejected from the game, Lattimore and Arians were also seen exchanging words.
