According to a league source, Jets wide receivers coach Miles Austin has been suspended for violating the NFL’s gambling policy.
Austin did not coach during the Jets' 19-3 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday night. According to Austin’s attorney Bill Deni, the NFL suspended him for wagering from a legal mobile account on table games and non-NFL professional sports.
Deni said in a statement that Austin did not wager in any NFL games in violation of the league’s Gambling Policy for Personnel. Austin is appealing the suspension, which will be a minimum of one year.
