Jets wide receivers coach Miles Austin has been suspended for a violation of the league’s gambling policy, according to an NFL source.
Austin, 38, did not gamble on NFL games, according to a statement provided by Austin’s attorney, Bill Deni of Gibbons P.C. In the statement, Deni says that Austin “wager[ed] from a legal mobile account on table games and non-NFL professional sports.” Deni adds that Austin is appealing the suspension and has cooperated with the league’s investigation.
The suspension is for a minimum of one year, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Rich Cimini.
