Mexican authorities were notified of the incident, which happened Sunday night, and then informed the Cardinals, who terminated Kugler and sent him back to Arizona on a flight Monday morning. The Cardinals had arrived in Mexico City on Saturday.
Kugler joined the Cardinals in 2019. Prior to that he had worked with the Lions, Bills, Steelers and Broncos.
