Javon Wims’ suspension lifted, gets roster exemption

Bears receiver Javon Wims’ two-game suspension was lifted by the NFL on Tuesday.

He received a roster exemption from the league, though, meaning the Bears have yet to add him back to their 53-man roster. They must make a decision about whether to do so later this week.

Wims was ejected — and later suspended — for throwing two punches to Saints safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson’s helmet Nov. 1. Gardner-Johnson had torn off Wims’ mouthpiece earlier in the game, for which he was eventually fined. Wims told his coaches that Gardner-Johnson spat at him, though the safety denied it to reporters.
