Written by SOURCE on April 21, 2023
Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has been suspended six games for violating the NFL’s gambling policy, the league announced on Friday.
Lions receiver Stanley Berryhill also received a six-game suspension.
Three other players have been suspended for at least one year, including Lions defensive back C.J. Moore and receiver Quintez Cephus, as well as Washington Commanders defensive tackle Shaka Toney.
Lions GM Brad Holmes responded to the suspensions in an official statement: “As a result of an NFL investigation, it came to our attention that a few of our players had violated the league’s gambling policy. These players exhibited decision making that is not consistent with our organizational values and violates league rules. We have made the decision to part ways with Quintez and C.J. immediately. We are disappointed by the decision making demonstrated by Stanley and Jameson and will work with both players to ensure they understand the severity of these violations and have clarity on the league rules moving forward.”
