DETROIT — 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.
"As a result of an NFL investigation, it came to our attention that a few of our players had violated the league’s gambling policy,” Lions general manager Brad Holmes said in a statement. "These players exhibited decision making that is not consistent with our organizational values and violates league rules. We have made the decision to part ways with Quintez and C.J. immediately. We are disappointed by the decision making demonstrated by Stanley and Jameson and will work with both players to ensure they understand the severity of these violations and have clarity on the league rules moving forward."
