On Monday, Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams will be permitted to rejoin the team. Williams was suspended six games for violating the league’s gambling policy. However, unlike most suspensions, this one comes with a caveat: the player can return to the team three weeks into the suspension. So after the Lions complete their Week 3 game against the Atlanta Falcons, Williams is expected to arrive back at the facility.
However, unlike some previous reports have suggested, Williams will not be permitted to practice until his full six-game suspension is up. As first reported by the Detroit News, Williams will be permitted to attend meetings, receive medical treatment, and work out with the strength and training staff.
