Former Wisconsin Badgers wide receiver Quintez Cephus could be gearing up for a return to the NFL.
Cephus was out of the league in 2023 after being suspended indefinitely last April for violating the NFL’s gambling policy. Cephus was released by the Detroit Lions after being suspended. He will have to apply to the league for reinstatement ahead of the 2024 campaign.
Drafted in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL draft by the Lions, Cephus produced 37 receptions for 568 yards and four touchdowns in 22 games with Detroit over three seasons. The wide receiver appeared in four games with Detroit in 2022, recording two catches for 15 yards.
During his time with the Badgers from 2016-2019, he caught 93 passes for 1,496 yards and 13 scores.
His career comes down to whether the NFL decides to reinstate him, and if the free agent can impress a team enough to receive another opportunity.
