Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams is one of five NFL players who have been suspended for violating the league’s policy on gambling.
The NFL on Friday announced that Williams and Lions teammates Quintez Cephus, CJ Moore and Stanley Berryhill have been suspended along with Washington Commanders defensive end Shaka Toney. Williams and Berryhill received six-game bans while Cephus, Moore and Toney have all been suspended indefinitely, which means at least the entire 2023 season.
A press release from the NFL stated that Cephus, Moore and Toney were found to have wagered on NFL games during the 2022 season. The nature of the violations for Williams and Berryhill was not disclosed, but the announcement noted that the NFL’s gambling policy prohibits players, coaches and personnel from “engaging in any form of gambling in any club or league facility or venue, including the practice facility.
