Detroit Lions WR suspended 2 games by NFL

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams faces a suspension. Again.

Williams will reportedly be suspended two games for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances, according to ESPN's Eric Woodyward.

Williams was also suspended for six games at the start of the 2023 season for violating the league's gambling policy by placing bets on sports at the Lions' facility, but not the NFL. However, the suspension was eventually lifted when the NFL changed its policy. He missed the first four games of the season.

There is little doubt about Williams' talent after the Lions drafted him in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft out of Alabama, but the speedy wide receiver has struggled to stay on the field so far.

He appeared in just six games in his rookie season while recovering from a torn ACL suffered at Alabama, then had a rocky start to his sophomore year due to the game suspension early in the season.

His third year was by far his best year with 361 receiving yards and three touchdowns, but now his progress is temporarily halted while he serves his suspension.

It has not yet been reported what substance Williams used that violated the league's protocols.
