Detroit Lions first-round pick Jameson Williams was one of five NFL players suspended for violations of the league's betting policy.
Four Lions' players and "multiple business and football" employees were identified by the NFL in the league's most significant crackdown in the online betting era. The Lions said they fully cooperated with the NFL investigation that began at least a month ago.
Washington Commanders defensive end Shaka Toney also was suspended indefinitely.
NFL partnerships and branded team agreements with betting organizations such as BetMGM and PointsBet, whose logos appear at FordField and throughout the city, haven't changed league rules that prohibit players from betting on NFL games or placing any type of wager -- including poker, blackjack or sports bets -- while at a team or league facility.
