The ESPN network said Friday that the 38-year-old had placed bets on sports, but none related to NFL games. It remains a circuit rule violation by Goodell, who has not yet commented on the case.
According to American media, Austin would appeal the decision.
The former receiver was not on the sidelines during Thursday night’s game between the Jets and the Jacksonville Jaguars. The latter also won 19 to 3 at MetLife Stadium.
After stints on the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers staff, Austin reunited with Jets head coach Robert Saleh when he was hired on January 18, 2021.
