New York Jets wide receiver coach Miles Austin is being suspended for at least one year, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Rich Cimini, for violating the NFL’s gambling policy.
The NFL issued a statement Friday confirming that Austin has been suspended and is appealing. “The league will have no further comment until that appeal has been resolved,” the NFL’s statement said.
Austin must serve any suspension before applying for reinstatement, a source told ESPN.
The NFL has been investigating Austin for a while, a source told ESPN, after it found out that he had been gambling on sports — not on NFL games or college football — which violates NFL personnel gambling policy.
