NFL lifts gambling ban for Broncos DE Eyioma Uwazurike

The NFL reinstated Denver Broncos defensive end Eyioma Uwazurike from his gambling suspension on Monday. He was suspended indefinitely last July after being accused of betting on games he played in, both with the Broncos and while at Iowa State. Uwazurike, 26, had also been facing gambling-related criminal charges in Iowa, but prosecutors dropped their case on March 1. The fourth-round draft pick in 2022 is now free to join Denver's training camp. The Broncos will need to make a corresponding move to put him on the active roster, but earlier reports said they planned to release safety Caden Sterns.
