BRADENTON, Fla. -- The San Francisco 49ers suspended radio color analyst Tim Ryan on Wednesday after he said on a Bay Area radio station that Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson's dark skin helps him disguise a dark football when running fake handoffs in Baltimore's zone-read heavy offense.
Ryan will not broadcast Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints while serving the suspension. The Niners released a statement on the matter Wednesday evening from Florida, where they are preparing to play the Saints at IMG Academy after losing 20-17 to the Ravens last week.
