A member of the Indianapolis Colts is under investigation by the NFL for violating its gambling policy, the team confirmed Monday.
The player’s name isn’t known, but any discipline from the league for gambling has been severe.
“We are aware of the NFL’s investigation and will have no further comment at this time,” a team spokesman said.
Jenny Reske with the Indiana Gaming Commission said that while the IGC is not the lead investigator in this case, it will review information as it becomes available.

“We have received information pertaining to this matter and we are following developments,” Reske said in an email to FOX59/CBS4. “The IGC is not the lead agency on this matter, as it involves alleged violations of a league policy at this point. We will, however, continue to review information as it emerges to determine what, if any, regulatory actions are necessary.”
In April, the league levied indefinite suspensions to Detroit’s Quentez Cephus and C.J. Moore and Washington’s Shaka Toney for betting on games in 2022.

Atlanta Falcons wideout Calvin Ridley was suspended for the entire 2022 season. He was traded to Jacksonville and has been reinstated for the upcoming season.
Arizona Cardinals defensive back Josh Shaw was suspended in November 2019 after the league determined he bet on an NFL game. He was forced to miss the end of ’19 and 2020, which consisted of 21 games.
