The NFL announced Thursday that it has officially suspended Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams for two games without pay following a violation of the league’s performance-enhancing substances policy.
The third-year speedster accepted the suspension via a statement released by representation, Alliance Sports Management, in which he described the initial news as a “complete surprise.”
“I don’t take supplements or vitamins and I am overly cautious about even taking over-the-counter medicine,” Williams’ statement read. “At no time have I ever taken something in an attempt to cheat or look for an unfair advantage. I understand that I am responsible for everything that goes into my body and I have to take accountability in this instance. … It is disappointing to accept this suspension, and it will hurt me to be away from the team as they prepare this week.”

The 23-year-old wideout will be eligible for reinstatement after Detroit’s Week 9 game against the Green Bay Packers. This marks the second suspension of Williams’ pro career after he was sidelined for four games in 2023 for placing a bet on a non-NFL game from an NFL facility.
Through six games this season, Williams has already posted a career-high 361 receiving yards and three touchdowns, while catching 17-of-30 targets.
