Indianapolis Colts cornerback Isaiah Rodgers Sr. confirmed reports that he has been gambling on NFL games by apologizing for his actions on social media Monday night.
Rodgers was reported to be the unnamed Colts player being investigated by the NFL for multiple violations of the league’s gambling policy due to "pervasive" betting. SportsHandle.com was first to cite the investigation, stating that the unnamed player placed hundreds of bets, even on his own team.
Sports Illustrated later revealed Rodgers as the player referred to in the investigation report, and Rodgers confirmed that in his social media apology.
"Addressing the current reports, I want to take full responsibility for my actions," Rodgers wrote. "I know I have made mistakes and I am willing to do whatever it takes to repair the situation."
