Denver’s Uwazurike suspended for gambling on NFL

Denver Broncos DE Eyioma Uwazurike has been suspended without a return date for violating the league’s policy on betting, the NFL shared today.

For Eyioma Uwazurike, it’s not only 1-year minimum length of suspension but timing. He misses not only 2023 season but entire 2024 offseason.
This is a raw DL talent who needs continued development. Even if reinstated next July 24, he’s way behind for 2024. #9sports
