It’s unclear, though, if the person of interest committed any wrongdoing, sources told FOX Sports.

The league determined that 11 of the 12 footballs the Patriots used while playing the Indianapolis Colts were under-inflated by a significant amount.
The Patriots ended up winning the game 45-7.
Under-inflated footballs can provide a competitive advantage because they're easier to grip and throw.
The first under-inflated ball was noticed when Patriots quarterback Tom Brady threw a pass that was intercepted by a Colts defender, who notified an official.
The NFL has since launched an investigation into who deflated the footballs. Teams provide 12 footballs bearing their logo that are tested two hours prior to kickoff.
Sources told FOX Sports on Monday that there is surveillance video showing the locker room attendant taking the footballs from the official's room into another room at Gillette Stadium before bringing them out to the field.
The league, though, is still trying to determine if any wrongdoing occurred.
The investigation into the deflation remains ongoing.
