Detroit Lions waive suspended WR Stanley Berryhill, 2 others ahead of rookie minicamp

The Detroit Lions waived released three players ahead of this weekend's rookie minicamp, including wide receiver Stanley Berryhill, who was suspended six games for violating the NFL's gambling policy.

Berryhill was one of four Lions players disciplined in a league investigation last month. Wide receiver Jameson Williams also was suspended six games for gambling on non-NFL games from an NFL facility, while safety C.J. Moore and receiver Quintez Cephus were suspended indefinitely for betting on football.

The Lions released Moore and Cephus at the time of their suspensions.

Along with Berryhill, who is allowed to take part in formal workouts and training camp before his suspension begins in the regular season, the Lions released cornerback Mac McCain and defensive tackle Demetrius Taylor on Tuesday.
