New York Jets wide receivers coach Miles Austin was suspended for a minimum of one year for violating the NFL’s gambling policy, the league said Friday.
Specifics about the bets Austin placed are not known, though there is no indication that he was gambling on NFL games. His attorney said in a statement that Austin placed bets on table games and other “non-NFL professional sports” from a legal account and is cooperating fully with the league’s investigation.
According to ESPN, Austin has been under investigation for some time, since the league tracked his gambling activity online.
