On Tuesday, Tomlin told reporters that Brown will be punished for his "foolish, selfish, and inconsiderate" video, which received over 40,000 viewers.

"It was foolish of him to do that, it was selfish of him to do that, and it was inconsiderate for him to do that," Tomlin said of Brown. "Not only it is a violation of our policy, it is a violation of league policy, both of which he knows. We will punish him, we won't punish us. And we'll do so swiftly, and we'll do so internally.

"I'm sure that he'll appropriately absorb all of those things as he moves forward, but larger than that, he's got to grow from this. He has to."
