Colts’ Rodgers under investigation for bets

The Colts said Monday they’re aware the NFL has opened a gambling investigation into one of the team’s players but wouldn’t discuss any additional details.

The confirmation came shortly after reports of a possible infraction of the league’s gambling policies first surfaced.

ESPN reported that the player is cornerback and returner Isaiah Rodgers.

A sportsbook account reportedly was opened under the name of an associate of Rodgers. Approximately 100 bets were placed on the account over an undisclosed amount of time, including on Colts games. Most of the bets were in the $25-$50 range, although there was at least one low four-figure bet.

The NFL suspended five players in April, four from the Lions, for gambling infractions. The Lions released three of those players — receivers Quintez Cephus and Stanley Berryhill and safety C.J. Moore. Cephus and Moore were suspended indefinitely for betting on

NFL games, while Berryhill and receiver Jameson Williams each drew six-game suspensions for gambling on non-NFL games. Williams remains on the Lions’ roster.

Commanders defensive end Shaka Toney also was given an indefinite suspension in April for betting on NFL games and in 2022, the NFL suspended Falcons receiver Calvin Ridley for the entire season for the same infraction. Ridley was reinstated in March and is now with the Jaguars.
