Washington Commanders DE Shaka Toney suspended indefinitely by the NFL for gambling

The NFL has reportedly suspended 5 players for gambling. One of those players is Washington Commanders DE Shaka Toney who is entering his third season with the team. Ian Rapoport is reporting that Toney has been suspended indefinitely(at least 1 year). Toney was drafted in the 7th round in 2021 out of Penn State, and has struggled to get playing time in Washington’s defense. He had less than half the snaps on defense last year than he had during his rookie season, but his use on special teams went from 14.8% to 69%.

Toney will now be out for at least this season, and this could be the end of his time in Washington.
