Rodgers was reinstated by the NFL on Tuesday after he was suspended for the 2023 season for violating the NFL's gambling policy, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Rodgers was originally suspended in June of 2023 after making bets on NFL games, which led to him being waived by the Colts. Despite the suspension, the UMass product inked a new deal with the Eagles two months later. With his suspension lifted, Rodgers will now be able to participate in all team activities for the first time since he signed with Philadelphia.

Isaiah Rodgers: Cut following gambling ban
Rotowire
The Colts waived Rodgers on Thursday.
Earlier Thursday, Rodgers was officially suspended indefinitely for gambling on NFL games, including bets placed on his own team, and the Colts apparently were ready to cut him once the year-long ban was announced by the league. The 25-year-old was initially expected to take over as a starting cornerback in Indy this year, but his career now may be hanging in the balance. We won't see Rodgers again until at least the 2024 season. Rodgers started nine games on defense last year and has played 897 defensive snaps over the last two years.

Rodgers made upwards of 100 bets on NFL games, including one on the Colts, according to the ESPN report. Rodgers acknowledged the violations earlier this month on a social media post where he said he made an error in judgement. The 25-year-old, who is recovering from a knee injury sustained back in December, looked primed for a starting cornerback role following Indianapolis' offseason trade of Stephon Gilmore to Dallas.

The 24-year-old cornerback registered 49 tackles, seven passes defended and three interceptions over 17 regular-season games with Indianapolis last season, and the team may be overly cautious in handling his health over the remainder of the preseason.

Rodgers (leg) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
