The NFL has suspended Arizona Cardinals director of college scouting Ryan Gold indefinitely after an investigation found he had breached the league's gambling policy, including passing on confidential draft information. The move underlines the NFL's strict stance on protecting the integrity of its player evaluation and draft processes, particularly given the growing prevalence of legal sports betting connected to the league.

The suspension was announced on Friday, with the Associated Press reporting that the league's investigation determined Gold had disclosed information related to college prospects that could have been used for betting purposes. Further specific details of the punishment's duration and the exact nature of the leaked information were not fully outlined in the initial report.
