Suspended Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Calvin Ridley applied to the NFL for reinstatement on Wednesday, multiple outlets reported.
The league suspended Ridley last March 7 through at least the 2022 season and said he could ask for the suspension to be lifted on Feb. 15, 2023.
Ridley admitted to placing $1,500 in wagers on NFL games in 2021. He bet on games between Nov. 23-28, 2021, when he was away from his then-team, the Atlanta Falcons, for personal reasons.
"I don't have a gambling problem," Ridley tweeted after the suspension was announced.
The Jaguars acquired Ridley at the trade deadline last Nov.
