PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia Eagles signed cornerback Isaiah Rodgers, two months after he was waived by the Indianapolis Colts shortly after the NFL suspended Rodgers and two other players indefinitely for gambling on NFL games last season.
The Eagles placed him on the reserve/suspended list on Monday. Rodgers can’t seek reinstatement until after the upcoming season.
In the last year, at least ten players have received suspensions, starting with former Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley’s one-year suspension for the 2022 season.
He is currently a player with the Jacksonville Jaguars after being reinstated in March.
Four players from Detroit were among the five suspended in April for gambling offenses.
The fourth-year UMass player Rodgers will not play for the Eagles this season, but if the NFL lifts his suspension, he will return in 2024.
