WR Jameson Williams to return early from suspension
Betting on NFL games, attempting to fix games, giving out inside information or third-party betting or proxy betting are still subject to an indefinite suspension at a minimum of one year. But the new policy now states that players betting on non-football games in the workplace or while working, which Williams was suspended for, now face a two-game suspension without pay on the first violation, a six-game suspension on the second violation and will be suspended without pay for at least a year on the third violation.
Williams can return to practice and full activities starting Monday, which is a big boost for a Lions' offense that is currently playing some pretty good football during the team's 3-1 start to the season. Williams brings a speed element to Detroit's receiver corps that opponents will have to prepare for and guard against.
