Why is Michael Irvin still suspended from NFL Network? Insider provides info on Cowboys legend’s status for upcoming season

Michael Irvin's suspension as an analyst has spanned five months since he was pulled from the NFL Network in February, just before the 2023 Super Bowl.

Irvin was suspended by the network after a sexual harassment allegation came forward from a hotel worker in Phoenix. However, the three-time Super Bowl winner subsequently filed a case against Marriott, the owner of the hotel where the alleged incident occurred.

Irvin has continued to deny any wrongdoing. His legal team has also released security camera footage from the hotel that they believe clears the former Dallas Cowboys wideout of the charges.

However, according to an NFL insider (via FrontOfficeSports.com), it is still not clear when the case will be resolved as there is no hearing date set. The NFL Network has not reinstated him, or cut him loose, and neither has Irvin been fired. As the 2023 season nears, Irvin's 15th year as an analyst remains in limbo.
