The NFL has announced that they have suspended five players for gambling on games in the 2022 season – with penalties taking effect in the upcoming 2023 season.

According to a league statement, three players are suspended indefinitely, and all are serving for at least the 2023 season. Those players include wide receiver Quintez Cephus and safety CJ Moore of the Detroit Lions, as well as defensive end Shaka Toney of the Washington Commanders.

In addition, two other Lions players – both rookies – received lighter sentences. Star receiver Jameson Williams and fellow pass catcher Stanley Berryhill were suspended for the first six games of the 2023 season.

After their suspension was announced, the Detroit Lions released Cephus and Moore from the team, while also criticizing Williams and Berryhill.

“As a result of an NFL investigation, we learned that some of our players had violated the league’s gambling policies,” Detroit Lions Executive Vice President and General Manager Brad Holmes said in a statement.

“These players exhibited decision making that is inconsistent with our organizational values ​​and in violation of competition rules. We have made the decision to say goodbye to Quintez and CJ immediately.

“We are disappointed with Stanley and Jameson’s decision making and will work with both players to ensure they understand the seriousness of these offenses and have clarity on future competition rules.”

The league’s statement added that a review found that there is “no evidence that any insider information has been used or that any game has been compromised in any way”.

Last year, then-Atlanta Falcons receiver Calvin Ridley was suspended for the entire 2022 season for betting on NFL games over five games while away from the team.

Ridley was traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars at last November’s trade deadline and reinstated in March.
