On April 21, the National Football League confirmed that three players have been indefinitely suspended for violating the league’s gambling policy. Two other players in the NFL were each suspended six games.
Quintez Cephus and C.J. Moore of the Detroit Lions, and Shaka Toney of the Washington Commanders, are suspended indefinitely through at least the conclusion of the 2023 season for betting on NFL games in the 2022 season. These players may petition for reinstatement at the conclusion of the 2023 season.
Stanley Berryhill and Jameson Williams of the Lions are suspended for the team’s first six regular season games of the 2023 season. These players are still eligible to participate in all offseason and preseason activities, including preseason games. The suspensions will take effect at the final roster cutdown.
The gambling policy, which is annually reviewed with all NFL personnel, including players, prohibits anyone in the NFL from engaging in any form of gambling in any club or league facility or venue, including the practice facility.
On the positive side, a league review uncovered no evidence indicating any inside information was used or that any game was compromised in any way. See the video below.
