Yet another NFL player has been handed a big suspension for violating the league’s gambling policy, and this one is a young defensive lineman who’s tied to last year’s blockbuster Russell Wilson trade.
On Monday the NFL announced that former Iowa State defensive lineman Eyioma Uwazurike has been suspended indefinitely. He is out for the entirety of the 2023 season and won’t be eligible to petition for reinstatement until 2024. Uwazurike was taken in the fourth round of the 2022 draft, using a pick sent by the Seattle Seahawks to Denver as part of the Wilson deal.
