MIAMI -- The NFL Players Association said it will insist on a fair investigation for all involved in the Miami Dolphins harassment case, including suspended guard Richie Incognito. The league is investigating the relationship Incognito had with teammate Jonathan Martin, who left the team last week because of emotional issues. Incognito was suspended indefinitely by coach Joe Philbin for his treatment of Martin. "As the representative organization of all players, the NFLPA will insist on a fair investigation for all involved," the union said in a statement Tuesday that included no condemnation of Incognitos conduct. Instead, the union said accountability rested with the Dolphins. "We expect that the NFL and its clubs create a safe and professional workplace for all players, and that owners, executives, coaches and players should set the best standards and examples," the union said. "It is the duty of this union to hold the clubs ... accountable for safety and professionalism in the workplace. ... We will continue to remain in contact with the impacted players, their representatives and player leadership." Incognito, speaking publicly for the first time since his suspension Sunday, was interviewed briefly by a reporter for WSVN-TV. "Im just trying to weather the storm right now," Incognito said before getting into his car. "This will pass." Dolphins officials didnt respond to requests for comment. The team practiced Tuesday for its game Monday night at Tampa Bay, but had no media availability. Incognitos harassment of Martin included text messages that were racist and threatening, two people familiar with the situation have said. The 6-foot-5, 312-pound Martin, a second-year pro, is biracial. Incognito, a guard in his ninth NFL season, is white. The case leaves the 30-year-old Incognitos career in doubt, and an associate professor at the University of Miami School of Law said he could face criminal charges. "This can be pursued as an extortion case," Tamara Lave said. "It could also be pursued as making some kind of threat against the other players life. ... This particular cultural moment is one in which people are very upset about bullying and hazing. ... I think that prosecutors may think its important for them to do something. And the fact that you have a 300-pound man who feels so threatened and uncomfortable that he leaves, thats an indication of how serious it was." No criminal investigation has been disclosed. Meanwhile, the NFL must decide whether the Dolphins failed to enforce the guidelines for workplace conduct included in the leagues player policy manual. "All NFL players and prospective players have the right to work in a positive environment that is free from any and all forms of harassment, intimidation and discrimination," the manual says. Every player receives a copy during training camp. Coach Joe Philbin said he was unaware of any harassment between the players until after Martin left the team. The Stanford graduate is with his family in Los Angeles for counselling, and its unclear whether hell rejoin the team this season. Also unclear is how other players would receive Martin after he complained about a teammate and abruptly left while Miami was mired in a four-game losing streak. The Dolphins shored up their depleted offensive line by signing David Arkin off the Dallas Cowboys practice squad. "I hope that Martin doesnt have any backlash from this from the rest of his teammates," said Arizona linebacker Karlos Dansby, who played for the Dolphins from 2010-12. Dansby said he was puzzled that Martins teammates didnt put a halt to any harassment. "Were like family. So why would we do something to hurt our family? I dont understand it. Definitely you have to step in and say something. Unfortunately the guys didnt step in down there. You got to have leaders step and up and control that kind of situation." Around the league, a handful of players had harsh words for Incognito, long considered one of the dirtiest players in the NFL. Some players defended the tradition of hazing, while others said it needs to change. Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll supported the latter view. "We dont allow hazing here," Carroll said. "In the past, yeah, Ive seen it. Its just an old-school way of thinking and a way of operating. We know better now." China NFL Jerseys . The 90-plus minutes of play are about trends and approach.

He moved up to a tie for seventh with Charley Hoffman at 13 under. Ben Martin, who had a three-shot lead after two rounds, shot a 73 to drop into a tie for fourth with Jeff Overton and Andrew Svoboda at 14 under. Overton shot 67, and Svoboda 70.

"Very disappointed in the whole season last year," Noh said. "I learned from that time. ... So Im very ready for tomorrow." He had never before been higher on the leaderboard than tied for second through three rounds. That happened once at the 2012 AT&T National, but he shot a 2-over 73 in his final round to finish tied for fourth, his best finish in 77 previous PGA Tour starts. Martin had raced to the lead with a course-record 10-under 62 in his first round, and his 36-hole score of 129 also was a course record. Teeing off with the final group, his trouble began on the par-5 second hole. He pushed his second shot to the right toward the crowd. As Martins father, Jim, yelled, "Fore!" LSU student Cameron Slane turned his body defensively and felt the ball carom off the back of his head and shoulder. The ball kicked to the right and into a cluster of long pampas grass. Martin took a drop and wound up with a bogey. "Thursdays round and today are kind of a 180-degree difference," Martin said. "After Thursday, I wasnt on Cloud 9 and after today Im not in the dumps. So Ive still have a good mindset going into tomorrow." ' ' '
