ALLEN PARK >> The status of Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams is in limbo after it was reported Monday night that Williams is facing a two-game suspension for violating the league’s Performance Enhancing Substances policy.

On Wednesday in Allen Park, Lions head coach Dan Campbell echoed his comments from the day before, saying he’s not supposed to talk about it, but they’re prepared to not have him for Sunday’s home game against the Tennessee Titans.

“It’s all good. He’s gonna be here, he’s helping out until they come through with whatever’s gonna happen,” Campbell said. “He’s with us, he’s part of this team, he’s helping out and we’re good, man.”

According to a source familiar with the situation, Williams, the No. 12 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, can choose to appeal the suspension or accept it. The source said Williams is currently in the decision-making window and has not yet decided what to do. Therefore, neither the league nor the team has been able to comment on or announce the suspension.

It’s unclear how long Williams has to decide.

Williams, 23, was also suspended four games to begin the 2023 season for violating the league’s gambling policy.

The latest incident comes at a time when Williams was playing the best football of his pro career. Through six games this season, Williams has 17 catches for 361 yards and three touchdowns. He’s second in the league in yards per catch (21.2).

“Here’s what I can tell you,” Campbell said. “I trust this kid. I trust him. Unfortunately, you’ve got to pay for your sins. Something happens and if this comes down, so be it, but I know this: We dangled the rope down on the way up and we can’t wait for anybody. Over a year ago, he started climbing his way up and he got to us.

“And maybe he lost his grip, but he’ll climb back up again. The rope’s still there; it’s tied to us, and he’ll be just fine. But he’s part of this team and I trust him.”

Williams has had an unusually rocky start to his NFL career, both for reasons in and out of his control.

Williams missed the first 11 games of his rookie season while dealing with a torn ACL suffered in his final college game. He had one catch that season for 41 yards and a touchdown. The hope was that he’d be full speed ahead by the start of 2023. But before he could even get to training camp, he was given a six-game suspension (later reduced to four) for violating the gambling policy.

Then, as the Lions tried to “douse him with reps” in camp and preseason, he suffered a hamstring injury that ended his summer prematurely. Williams never found himself a consistent part of the offense in 2023, catching just 24 passes for 354 yards and two touchdowns.

Campbell said Williams’ maturity has “taken huge strides.”

“He’s around his teammates a ton, and I feel like he’s really endeared himself to the guys, and like I said, he’s part of the group,” Campbell said. “I’m telling you, he’s matured so much. And I get it, I understand where it’s at, and I know it can be frustrating. Look, it’s frustrating for us. It’s frustrating because I got to answer these questions and the team is gonna have to answer them when they shouldn’t have to.

“But ultimately, he’s taken huge strides … and I recognize that and I think the team recognizes that. So I think he’s going to come back better than before.”

As it stands, Williams appears set to miss Sunday’s game against the Titans and a pivotal division game against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field in Week 9.

Campbell said he has the utmost confidence that Detroit’s other weapons can step up in Williams’ absence.

“This isn’t the first little bit of stuff that we’ve been hit with, so we adjust, we move on, and life’s good,” Campbell said.
