I could see an argument for the suspension on the grounds that as because he was still a member of the team, though on medical leave, he has higher opportunity for advance knowledge about the team. In essence, sort of an "insider trading" version of betting. And additionally if people saw he was betting on the game, they could read something into that which could possibly affect the line, etc.

I doubt he has that much SM or public presence to make any such effect, and there are probably dozens of people who had as much "'insider info" as him who could or may also bet and get away with it. But from an institutional standpoint, the NFL would have to come down hard on that stance once it game to light.
