Tennessee Titans offensive tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere was at his team’s practice facility at some point during the 2022 season when his use of a sports betting app cost him two games of playing time after the NFL discovered the infraction. It suspended him at the start of the 2023 season.
But what if when Petit-Frere pushed the button to place the bet, it had been denied? He may not have liked it at the time, but it would have saved him a suspension and helped the NFL’s enforcement of a sports betting policy that seems to have flummoxed players and coaches. It also might have helped the Titans this year in a tough season.
