The NFL is implementing stricter gambling policies that will result in harsher punishments for players who bet on their own teams. Under the new policy, players who bet on their own team will be suspended for at least two years, while bets placed on any NFL game will result in at least a one-year suspension. The policy also addresses betting on non-NFL sports while at a team facility or on team-related travel. The revised policy allows Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams and Tennessee Titans offensive tackle Nick Petit-Frere to be reinstated, serving a reduced suspension of four games instead of the original six. Several players, including Lions wide receiver Quintez Cephus, Washington Commanders defensive end Shaka Toney, and three members of the Indianapolis Colts, had been suspended indefinitely under the previous policy and will seek reinstatement after the 2023 season.
