The NFL dropped a bombshell on Friday morning, announcing the suspensions of four Detroit Lions players and one Washington Commander for gambling.
In Detroit, that meant that safety C.J. Moore and wide receiver Quintez Cephus were handed indefinite suspensions because they were found to have gambled on NFL games. The Lions responded by releasing both players.
The potentially bigger news is that Jameson Williams and Stanley Berryhill were given six-game suspensions for gambling on non-NFL games. The Lions did not cut either player and both are eligible to participate in the team’s offseason program all the way through and including preseason games.
