Detroit Lions WR Jameson Williams to be reinstated early, as NFL reduces suspension

The NFL has made several changes to its policies surrounding gambling, and while many of the decisions moving forward will be stricter, they are also showing more leniency on players who were currently suspended, including Detroit Lions Jameson Williams, who will be reinstated on Monday—and be available to play as soon as next Sunday in Detroit’s matchup with the Carolina Panthers in Week 5.

According to a report from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero:

“The NFL is reinstating #Lions WR Jameson Williams and #Titans OL Nicholas Petit-Frere effective Monday — two weeks before their gambling suspensions were set to end, per sources.
