Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley was suspended Monday through at least the 2022 season after it was determined that he gambled on games in 2021.
In a press release, the NFL said Ridley bet on games, some involving his own team, using his phone over a period of five days in November after he had been placed on the league's non-football illness list.
Ridley responded by taking to Twitter in several posts."I bet 1500 total I don't have a gambling problem," Ridley wrote, adding in another post that he"couldn't" watch the game at that point.Ridley, who is 27, revealed Oct. 31 that he was taking a break from football to focus on his mental health, according to CNN. In another post Monday, Ridley said he would"be more healthy" when he came back from his suspension.
