Five players, including 2022 first-round pick of the Detroit Lions Jameson Williams, were suspended by the NFL for gambling violations, the league announced Friday.
Detroit Lions wide receiver Quintez Cephus and safety C.J. Moore and Washington Commanders defensive end Shaka Toney were suspended indefinitely, while Lions wide receivers Stanley Berryhill and Williams were suspended for six games.
Cephus, Moore, and Toney are suspended through at least the conclusion of the 2023 season for betting on NFL games in the 2022 season and may petition for reinstatement at the conclusion of the 2023 season.
In a release, the NFL said that a “league review uncovered no evidence indicating any inside information was used or that any game was compromised in any way.”
Berryhill and Williams were suspended for betting from an NFL facility on non-NFL games. They are eligible to participate in all offseason and preseason activities, including preseason games., and their suspensions will take effect at the final roster cutdown.
The Lions have now released WR Quintez Cephus and S C.J. Moore as the news of their indefinite suspensions come down.
