Matt Rybaltowski of Sports Handle produced a report today that could have a lasting impact on both the Indianapolis Colts and NFL at large. 

According to Rybaltowski, an unnamed member of the Colts is alleged to have placed hundreds of bets, often while on company property. This anonymous player has been accused of betting on Colts games, though specific details of his bets were unclear. 

Rybaltowski didn’t divulge the name of the player under investigation but relayed this telling anecdote from his source. 

“Although the player is not considered a superstar, an ardent NFL fan has probably heard of him, according to the source. Most of the wagering occurred during 2022, with some of it extending into 2023. The player is still on the Colts’ roster, the source revealed,” Rybaltowski reported.

As the Associated Press reported, the NFL has introduced strict measures to prevent gambling in the wake of Calvin Ridley’s season-long suspension. 

“NFL players and personnel are not allowed to engage in gambling in NFL facilities, disclose any nonpublic NFL information, enter a sportsbook during the NFL season, or maintain any social, business or personal relationships with sports gamblers,” Kyle Hightower of the AP wrote. 

Many of the most pertinent details of the story have yet to be released. The general public isn’t yet aware of who this player is, the nature of the bets they allegedly placed, as well as how the Colts organization could allow this to transpire under their watch. 

Today’s scoop from Sports Handle will be one worth closely monitoring.
