Ramsey's teammate, Dante Fowler, was involved in several fights Sunday, including one after practice with fellow defensive end Yannick Ngakoue.

Ramsey shouted profanities at media members who captured the altercation on video and later threatened reporters with "war" for releasing the video. Ramsey made his threat via Twitter.

On Tuesday, he blocked several local media members from seeing his Tweets.

Jaguars coach Doug Marrone said Tuesday that the suspension wasn't a vacation for the two players, who will not make the trip to Minnesota for Saturday's second preseason game.

"It’s fine to say that," Marrone said. "I’m just telling you that they are not with us, and they will be back on Monday.

"I spoke to both players and obviously those conversations are private. That is really all I’m going to say about it."
