NFL reinstates five players from gambling bans

The NFL has reinstated five players who were suspended for the 2023 season for violating the NFL’s gambling policy.

Washington Commanders defensive end Shaka Toney and four free agents — defensive end Rashod Berry, wide receiver Quintez Cephus, safety C.J. Moore, and defensive end Demetrius Taylor — were reinstated Thursday.

Defensive back Isaiah Rodgers also was suspended for at least the 2023 season last year but wasn’t reinstated Thursday. Both Rodgers and Berry were with the Indianapolis Colts at the time of their suspensions, and both were released by Indianapolis last year.

Rodgers later signed with the Philadelphia Eagles, who hold his rights if he were to be reinstated.

Cephus and Moore were with the Detroit Lions at the time of their suspensions, and both were released by Detroit.

Taylor was a free agent at the time of his suspension.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter contributed to this report.
