Heartbreaking: The following five Washington Commanders players have been suspended:
Five NFL players have been caught breaking the league’s gambling rules, the league announced Friday, including Philadelphia native and Penn State grad Shaka Toney.
Now a defensive end with the Washington Commanders, Toney is one of three players suspended indefinitely for betting on NFL games last season. The other two are Detroit Lions wide receiver Quintez Cephus and safety C.J. Moore.
The NFL said those players “may petition for reinstatement at the conclusion of the 2023 season.”
Two other Lions wide receivers, Stanley Berryhill and Jameson Williams, were suspended for the first six games of the 2023 regular season. The NFL said they can take part in “all offseason and preseason activities, including preseason games,” and their suspensions officially will start after the final roster cutdown.
