Jameson Williams won't face punishment from the NFL for a gun incident which occurred during the season. He did not face charges and was not arrested during a traffic stop on Oct. 8 when police found an unlicensed gun in his car.

An NFL spokesperson told Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press that the matter is "closed," meaning Williams won't face further discipline from the league related to the incident. Williams was the passenger as a car driven by his brother was pulled over for speeding. During the traffic stop, two guns were discovered, one registered to each Williams brother.
