New York Jets Wide Receivers Coach Miles Austin Suspended for a Year for Betting on Sports

New York Jets wide receivers coach Miles Austin has been suspended for at least a year for violating the league's gambling policy. He allegedly bet on sports, though he did not wager on any football games. His agent and lawyer are appealing the suspension. The rule prohibits NFL personnel from placing bets on professional, college or international sports. Austin played in the NFL for a decade and was selected to two Pro Bowls. The 38-year-old can apply for reinstatement after his suspension ends.
