A fifth Detroit Lions player is being investigated for violating the league's gambling policy, according to a report from The Athletic.
Citing league sources, the publication is withholding the player's name because the investigation is ongoing and the player is yet to be interviewed by the league. The player was described as not having a prominent role on the 2022 roster.
If the player is found to have violated the gambling policy, he'd be the fifth Lions player, and sixth overall, to be suspended by the league this offseason. Wide receiver Quintez Cephus and safety C.J. Moore were handed indefinite bans, with a minimum one-year duration, for gambling on NFL activities.
