The NFL confirmed Friday that New York Jets wide receivers coach Miles Austin has been suspended indefinitely for violating the league's gambling policy. BOOMbaca has the details:
Austin, 38, is in his second season coaching the Jets wide receiving corps and began his coaching career as an offensive quality control coach with the San Francisco 49ers in 2019. He had spent the two previous seasons as a pro and college scouting intern with the Dallas Cowboys, the team he played for in eight of his 10 NFL seasons.
With the Cowboys, Austin made two Pro Bowls and was voted the 2009 Most Improved Player by the Pro Football Writers' Association of America. Austin spent the final two seasons of his career with the Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles . In April 2014, after his time with the Cowboys had concluded, but finished short of the prize threshold.
This is the second gambling controversy connected to the NFL this year. In March, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Calvin Ridley — then on the Atlanta Falcons — was because he made less than 10 bets while on injured reserve with a non-football illness. Ridley, however, was betting on NFL games and sometimes the Falcons, the league said.
