As the NFL continues to wield its hammer against players and coaches who bet on games, a member of the Indianapolis Colts appears to be their next potential target.
According to Matt Rybaltowski of Sports Handle, one unspecified member of the Colts is under investigation for allegations of betting on games. Per a source Rybaltowski quotes, that the player is known but not to fans but not considered a star.
The source also stated that “at least some of the wagers” were placed on Colts games. The player is alleged to have made these bets via an account opened by an acquaintance.
Per the report, the Indiana Gaming Commission is now investigating the matter to see if any of their policies were potentially broken by this player.

In the past year the NFL has suspended around a half-dozen players – including wide receivers Calvin Ridley and Jameson Williams – along with one coach and several miscellaneous officials over sports betting.
There have been recent rumors that the NFL is in the midst of one or more allegations of sports betting by other players across the league.
Chances are, this is going to be a recurring issue across the league in the weeks and months to come.
