Lions WR Jameson Williams to be reinstated from suspension in Week 5

Williams will be reinstated on Monday, per numerous reports, and be eligible to play in Week 5

Jameson Williams will be back on the field the next time we see the Detroit Lions. According to multiple reports, the NFL is modifying its policy on gambling and will end Williams’ suspension after four games.

Williams was originally suspended for six games back in April for violating the league’s policy on gambling and betting. The league has decided to change the policies that Williams and another player, Tennessee offensive lineman Nicholas Petit-Frere, were in violation of and suspended. Both players will be reinstated on Monday, two weeks earlier than expected.

Williams returned to the Lions facilities on Monday as part of the original suspension terms. He was still not allowed to practice or participate in meetings, however. Now he will be free to become activated and a full participant in all team activities including the Week 5 matchup in Carolina with the Panthers.
