Five players are scheduled to return to the NFL in 2024 following their season-long suspensions for gambling-related offenses.
In 2023, each of those five players received an indefinite ban for breaking the gambling laws.
The reinstatements coincide with a growing public mistrust of sports leagues' affiliations with gaming companies following the widespread legalization of sports betting. After discovering that Toronto Raptors forward Jontay Porter had wagered against his own team, the NBA permanently suspended Porter on Wednesday.
