Philadelphia Rodgers reinstated from gambling suspension
Isaiah Rodgers Sr is back in the NFL after a year-long suspension for violating the leagues gambling policies.
He was suspended on June 29, released by Indy that day and then signed with Philly in August.
At the time of his suspension, ESPN's David Purdum reported that Rodgers had placed more than 100 bets -- including on Colts games -- and most were in the $25 to $50 range. One wager, in particular, stood out: a $1,000 prop bet on the over/under on rushing yards by Colts running back Jonathan Taylor, which Rodgers won.
"That report is true, with it being $1,000, but that report wasn't made from my device," Rodgers told Barr. "The $25 to $50 bets are exactly true, but it was more crazy-leg parlays with just $25 trying to make a crazy amount. Just funny bets. Nothing too serious. It was never, 'This bet here is going to change my life.'"
