An unnamed Indianapolis Colts player is under investigation for violating the NFL’s gambling policy, first reported by Matt Rybaltowski of Sports Handle on Monday.
The Colts released a statement acknowledging the league’s investigation but had no further comment.
According to the report from Sports Handle, the player in question is under investigation for “placing wagers on his own team.”
More from the initial report:
The investigation has found evidence that this player — who is on the Colts’ active roster — placed “hundreds of wagers,” a source told the publication.
No other member of the Colts was involved in these wagers, the publication reported. Sport Handle’s source regarded the player’s wagering activity as “pervasive.”
This isn’t the first time the league has cracked down when it comes to violations of the gambling policy.
Earlier this offseason, four players on the Detroit Lions roster, along with several staff members, were suspended for violating the policy as well.
We should get clarification on the issue soon so this will certainly be something to monitor.
