Detroit Lions wideout Jameson Williams will not face discipline from the NFL for carrying an unlicensed gun, with a league spokesman telling the Detroit Free Press on Wednesday that the matter is 'closed.'
Williams, 23, also avoided criminal charges for the gun, discovered by police during a traffic stop in October. He was a passenger in the car being driven by his brother when police pulled them over for speeding. Two guns were found, one registered to Williams and one to his brother.
Williams, however, did not have a concealed pistol license to carry the gun at the time but obtained one later.
Wayne County (Mich.) prosecutors in late November declined to charge Williams.
Williams has been suspended by the league two times -- for six games total -- in his first three seasons in the NFL for violating gambling and performance enhancing drug policies.
He hauled in 58 catches for 1,001 yards and seven touchdowns in 15 games (11 starts) in 2024. He has 10 touchdowns in 33 career games (21 starts) since the Lions selected him No. 12 overall in the 2022 draft.
