Four Detroit Lions players, including second-year wide receiver Jameson Williams, have been suspended by the NFL for violation of the league's gambling policy.
Wide receiver Quintez Cephus and C.J. Moore have been suspended indefinitely and subsequently released by the team. Williams and wide receiver Stanley Berryhill each have been banned the first six games of the 2023 regular season.

"These players exhibited decision making that is not consistent with our organizational values and violates league rules.
