NextImg:Three NFL players suspended 'indefinitely' over 2022 gambling scandal


The NFL has indefinitely suspended three of its players for gambling.

Indianapolis Colts players Isaiah Rodgers and Rashod Berry and free agent Demetrius Taylor will, at the very least, be suspended through the end of the 2023 season for betting on games during the 2022 season. Additionally, the league announced Thursday that it will suspend a fourth player, Nicholas Petit-Frere of the Tennessee Titans, for six games because he bet on non-NFL sports within the club facility.

While Petit-Frere remains eligible to participate in all offseason and preseason activities and games, the other players will have to "petition for reinstatement at the conclusion of the 2023 season," according to a statement from the NFL.

"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," the statement read.

"I know I have made mistakes and I am willing to do whatever it takes to repair the situation. The last thing I ever wanted to do was to be a distraction to the Colts organization, my coaches, and my teammates. I’ve let people down that I care about," Rodgers wrote in an Instagram post that turned off comments. "I made an error in judgment and I am going to work hard to make sure that those mistakes are rectified throughout the process. It’s an honor to play in the NFL and I have never taken that lightly. I am very sorry for all of this."

"Firstly I wanted to say that it's an honor to play in the NFL and it has been a blessing to play this game," Petit-Frere's statement read. "The betting I engaged in was NOT NFL related and was legal under Tennessee law. It is only being sanctioned because it occurred at the Titans facility."

In April, the NFL suspended three other players indefinitely and additionally suspended two more with six-game suspensions for violating its rules on gambling.
