According to Deni, “Miles Austin was suspended by the NFL for using a legitimate mobile account to bet on table games and non-NFL professional sports.” “According to the NFL’s policy on gambling, Miles did not place any bets on any games he attended. To date, he has been completely forthcoming in the NFL’s inquiry. A suspension from school has led him to file an appeal.”
Betting on sports in general, not just NFL games, is against the NFL’s rules for employees. The league punishment of Austin was first reported by NFL Network and ESPN.
