Source: Jets assistant Miles Austin suspended for gambling

New York Jets wide receiver coach Miles Austin is being suspended for at least one year for violating the NFL's gambling policy, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter and Rich Cimini on Friday.

The length of the suspension is pending an appeal, a source told ESPN.

The NFL has been investigating Austin for a while, a source told ESPN, after it found out that he had been gambling on sports -- not on NFL games or college football -- which violates NFL personnel gambling policy.

In addition, Austin also had been making online bets while at the team's facility, which is also against NFL rules.
