On Thursday, the NFL suspended Indianapolis Colts cornerback Isaiah Rodgers and defensive end Rashod Berry indefinitely for violating the league’s gambling policy.
Berry, Rodgers, and free agent defensive end Demetrius Taylor were all suspended for at least the 2023 NFL season for betting on NFL games in 2022, the league revealed. These players may request reinstatement at the end of the 2023 season.
Nicholas Petit-Frere, an offensive lineman for the Tennessee Titans, was also suspended for six games after wagering on non-NFL games at team facilities.
Berry spent the most of 2022 on Indianapolis’ practice squad. Taylor made the Detroit Lions’ 53-man roster to begin 2022, but he was dismissed by the team in October.
Following Thursday’s bans, the Colts confirmed Berry and Rodgers had been waived. In his comments on the decisions, team general manager Chris Ballard emphasized the “integrity of the game.”.
Petit-Frere got ahead of the news on Thursday, sending a statement to ESPN’s Adam Schefter before the league announced the punishment.
Petit-Frere said that all of his wagers were lawful, but the fact that he placed them at team facilities resulted in his suspension.
Titans’ OT Nicholas Petit-Frere will be penalized six games for breaching the NFL’s gambling policy. Petit-Frere insists that he did not wager on NFL games. However, he is being suspended for wagering on other sports at work.
This is a major defeat for the Titans. Petit-Frere made 16 starts as a rookie last season after being taken in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Petit-Frere apologized to the squad and its fans, promising to help the team as much as possible before his suspension begins.
The Titans issued a statement stating that they feel Petit-Frere “has deep respect for the integrity of the game.” The team promised to educate players about the importance of following NFL laws and gambling practices.
The NFL continues to crack down on gambling.
In April, the league suspended five players in accordance with its gambling policy. The league suspended three players indefinitely: Detroit Lions receiver Quintez Cephus, Lions defensive back C.J. Moore, and Washington Commanders defensive end Shaka Toney. They can ask for reinstatement after the 2023 NFL season.
Two more Lions receivers, Jameson Williams and Stanley Berryhill, were suspended for six games for their acts. Williams reportedly wagered on college football games while visiting NFL facilities.
Prior to the start of the 2022 NFL season, receiver Calvin Ridley was suspended for the whole season for gambling. Ridley was with the Atlanta Falcons at the time. He was traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2022 and was reinstated before the 2023 NFL season.
