Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams, who ranks second in the NFL with 21.2 yards per reception, was suspended by the league on Thursday for a violation of the NFL’s performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) policy.

He will miss the team’s Week 8 game on Sunday versus the Tennessee Titans, as well as a Week 9 contest against the divisional rival Green Bay Packers. Williams will be eligible for reinstatement on Nov. 4, which is the day after the Packers game.
