What Happened to Jameson Williams? NFL Suspension & Concealed Weapon Charge Explained

As a die-hard Detroit Lions fan with decades of football fandom under my belt, I must say that this season has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride! The team is facing numerous challenges, and one of their rising stars, Jameson Williams, is currently navigating through some serious off-field issues.


In the midst of the 2024 NFL season, Detroit Lions’ wide receiver Jameson Williams finds himself in a predicament. He is currently facing two issues:

Why was Jameson Williams suspended?

Jameson Williams received a suspension due to testing positive for a substance categorized as a stimulant, diuretic, or masking agent, which goes against the rules set by the PES policy.

On October 24, 2024, it was made official that he would be suspended, which meant he wouldn’t play in the Lions’ matchups against the Titans (Week 8) and the Packers (Week 9).

According to NFL.com, Williams was taken aback when he learned about his suspension as it came entirely unexpectedly. He assures us that he neither consumes supplements nor vitamins and exercises caution with over-the-counter medicines, but recognizes the accountability for anything ingested by him.

Why is Jameson Williams facing a concealed weapon charge?

On October 8, following an event with the Detroit police past midnight, Jameson Williams has been charged with unlawfully carrying a firearm.

According to WXYZ’s report, police stopped a vehicle being driven by Williams’ brother. He revealed that there were two firearms in the car. One of these guns was registered to Williams, but he didn’t have a permit to carry concealed weapons for it. Consequently, he was handcuffed and put in the back of a patrol car.

After a police officer (sergeant) who happened to be a Lions fan arrived at the scene and recognized Williams, no arrest was made and there were no citations or incidents involved. This led to an internal affairs investigation regarding the stop, with Chief James White expressing his displeasure over the situation, stating that he was “very unhappy” about it.

Todd Flood, representing Williams, stated in a release that “both firearms were legally owned and the individual driving the vehicle held valid permits to carry them.

According to the NFL’s Code of Conduct, players may face penalties if found in illegal possession of firearms or weapons. In the case of Williams, not having a concealed carry permit (CPL) for his gun could result in repercussions. Any possible NFL sanctions related to this incident will be determined once the ongoing legal investigation has been completed.

Regarding recent updates on the Detroit Lions team, their linebacker Malcom Rodriguez is dealing with an ankle issue, and their defensive end Aidan Hutchinson has sustained a fractured tibia.
