In a major disciplinary move, the Tennessee Titans have indefinitely suspended two key players, Quintez Cephus and C.J. Moore, after they were found to have placed bets on NFL games. The suspension, handed down by Titans general manager Ran Carthon, follows the NFL’s strict policy against gambling on league games by players and personnel.
Alongside Cephus and Moore, two other Titans players have also faced consequences for betting-related activities. Berryhill and wide receiver Jameson Williams each received six-game suspensions for betting on non-NFL games, which violates the league’s gambling policy, though to a lesser extent.
General manager Carthon addressed the media, saying, “We take these matters very seriously. The integrity of the game is of utmost importance, and we will fully cooperate with the NFL’s ongoing investigation into these violations.”
The indefinite suspension of Cephus and Moore leaves the Titans without two key pieces as the team prepares for the upcoming season. Both players are expected to appeal the decision, though the timeline for their potential return remains uncertain.
This development has sent shockwaves through the Titans’ locker room, as the team will need to navigate the season without these players and ensure compliance with league policies moving forward.
