ESPN has fired the former N.F.L. players Donovan McNabb and Eric Davis, who worked as radio hosts for the network and who have been accused of sexual misconduct in a lawsuit against the NFL Network, their previous employer.
McNabb and Davis are among a group of men accused of sexual harassment or assault in the lawsuit filed by Jami Cantor, a former wardrobe stylist for the NFL Network.
ESPN started investigating the allegations about four weeks ago, according to Josh Krulewitz, a network spokesman.
Cantor has accused McNabb, the former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback, of sending her sexually inappropriate text messages, and she has alleged that Davis, a former cornerback who won a Super Bowl with the San Francisco 49ers, groped her and made lewd comments.
