Report: Former Steelers RB Karlos Williams Suspended At Least One Year

It hasn’t been a great offseason for a few former Pittsburgh Steelers players when it comes to league suspensions.

On Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN.com reported that former Steelers running back Karlos Williams has now been suspended for a period of at least one year.

Williams, who was waived by the Steelers this past March, was originally signed to the team’s practice squad last October. He was then suspended for 10 games at the end of November for reportedly violating the league’s substance abuse policy. The Steelers signed Williams to a futures contract this past January after his suspension was temporarily lifted with reportedly one game remaining to be served.
