Report: NFL investigating more potential gambling violations

The NFL is investigating a second wave of potential violations of its gambling policies, sources told ESPN's David Purdum.

No players, coaches, or teams that could be under investigation have been revealed.

Five players were suspended in April, including Detroit Lions wide receivers Jameson Williams, Stanley Berryhill, and Quintez Cephus, Lions defensive back C.J. Moore, and Washington Commanders defensive end Shaka Toney.

Cephus, Moore, and Toney were banned indefinitely for placing bets on NFL games during the 2022 season, while Williams and Berryhill were each given six-game suspensions for gambling on college football games while at the team's facilities. Under current policies, players can gamble on sports outside of the NFL but are not permitted to place bets at team facilities.

Other gambling-related player suspensions were levied against former Arizona Cardinals defensive back Josh Shaw in 2019 and Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Calvin Ridley in 2022, with both receiving indefinite bans. The latter received his suspension as a member of the Atlanta Falcons.

New York Jets wide receivers coach Miles Austin also received an indefinite ban in December. Coaches are not permitted to gamble on any sports.
