Arizona Cardinals cornerback Josh Shaw, a former USC player who got in trouble in college for lying, was suspended indefinitely — and at least through the 2020 season — for betting on NFL games. Shaw, who has been on injured reserve since August, is accused by the league of placing bets on games on multiple occasions. It’s against league rules for any NFL employee to bet on NFL games, or to set foot in a sports book at any point during the football season. According to the NFL, there was no evidence that any coaches, teammates or other players were aware of Shaw’s betting activity. Central to the policy is that betting on NFL games in any form is forbidden, regardless of whether the betting is legal or illegal in a given state.
