ESPN’s Eric Woodyard reports that Detroit Lions’ Jameson Williams faces a two-game suspension for violating the NFL’s Performance-Enhancing Substances (PES) policy. Williams confirmed the suspension to ESPN, saying he is “in good spirits” and ready to return “as soon as possible.” He was also suspended part of last season for violating the NFL’s gambling policy.

Lions head coach Dan Campbell said on Tuesday morning during a radio appearance that he is preparing to not have Williams for the next couple of games: “I can’t really say anything about it until the league gives judgment, and it comes out on their end. I’m not supposed to really comment on it. All I can tell you is we’re prepared to not have him ..And we’ll be fine, that’s why we’ve got (Kalif Raymond) and [Amon-Ra St. Brown] and (Sam) LaPorta and T.P. (Tim Patrick) and Allen Robinson, among other things with David Montgomery and (Jahmyr) Gibbs. We’ll be fine. We’ll move on. This thing comes down, if it does, when it comes down, we’ll be fine.”

Williams was off to the best start of his career this season, totaling 17 catches for 361 yards and three touchdowns through his first six appearances of 2024.

The Lions (5-1) will host the Tennessee Titans (1-5) at 1 p.m. EDT Sunday in Detroit.
