((HT: CBS4Denver.com))Pro Bowl receiver Brandon Marshall, openly unhappy with the Denver Broncos, was suspended by the team Friday for unspecified "detrimental" conduct.
Coach Josh McDaniels said the suspension will last through Sept. 5. Marshall has asked for a new contract or trade and has acknowledged he hasn't learned new coach Josh McDaniels' playbook.
He was held out of last Sunday's preseason game at Seattle. During Wednesday's warmups, Marshall walked while the rest of the team ran. He punted a ball away instead of handing it to a ball boy and swatted a pass thrown to him.
His actions were caught on video and broadcast by KMGH-TV. Marshall told ESPN on Thursday night he wasn't trying to force a trade through insubordination but that frustration got the best of him.
The receiver apparently was held out of practice Thursday as punishment for the churlish display, but McDaniels wouldn't discuss it afterward.
"I'm not going into it," the coach said. "If they're not ready or able, they're not out here."
Marshall's agent, Kennard McGuire, didn't immediately return a phone call Friday. McGuire was out of the country until Monday.
