The Detroit Lions will be without Jameson Williams for the next two weeks. The third-year receiver has been suspended two games for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing substances policy, according to ESPN. 

Williams told ESPN that he had “no choice but to take it on the chin.” 

This is the second suspension for Williams in his career. The 23-year-old sat out four games last season for violating the NFL’s gambling policy.

The Lions drafted Williams with the No. 12 pick in 2022. He only played in six games as a rookie while he recovered from an ACL tear he suffered in the College Football Playoff. 

He emerged as a weapon for Detroit’s offense late in 2023 and already has career highs in receiving yards (361) and TD receptions (3) this season. He ranks second on the team in both categories, behind Amon-Ra St. Brown.
