The league announced that Lions’ Quintez Cephus, C.J. Moore and Commanders’ Shaka Toney will be suspended through “at least the conclusion of the 2023 season” for gambling on games from the ’22 season, according to the league’s statement.

The trio of players will have the opportunity to petition for reinstatement to the league at end of the ’23 season. Detroit’s Stanley Barnhill and Jameson Williams will miss the Lions first six games of the upcoming season. They were suspended for placing wagers on non-NFL games from an NFL team facility, according to NFL reporter Ari Meirov.

However, both Barnhill and Williams will be permitted to participate in the team’s offseason and preseason activities that includes preseason games. Their suspensions will go into effect following the franchise’s final roster cutdown.

According to the league, there was no evidence of inside information used to compromise games from the ’22 season.
