Lions' Jameson Williams won't be disciplined by NFL after facing arrest in gun-related incident: report

Detroit Lions star receiver Jameson Williams won’t be facing any league discipline after an October 2024 incident in which he was pulled over with an unlicensed gun, per the Detroit Free Press. 

Williams faced arrest on a gun charge after being pulled over on Oct. 8, 2024, where he and his brother had two handguns in the vehicle at the time. 

The guns were registered properly, but Williams did not have a concealed carry license on him, which could’ve led to a charge of carrying a concealed weapon in a motor vehicle.

Williams’ brother, however, does have a concealed pistol license.

Williams had been in handcuffs at the scene, but he was not taken to jail or charged in the incident. 

It was also reported that the police sergeant on the scene recognized Williams, having been a Lions fan.

The sergeant had made calls to higher-ranking officials during the time of the arrest, and after a lieutenant told the sergeant the brothers could be let go, the sergeant told the lieutenant he is a “[expletive] hero” and thanked him. That is when Williams was removed from handcuffs and let go without further issue.

While the NFL won’t discipline Williams in the case, Lions head coach Dan Campbell talked about Williams, who was suspended two weeks after the incident for violating the league’s performance-enhancing drugs policy, before the team faced the Washington Commanders in the divisional round of the playoffs. 

“I love that kid because he’s had to endure a lot,” Campbell said, per the Detroit Free Press. “And look, some of it is his own doing, and he knows that, and that’s what I appreciate is that he’s – it took him a minute to buy into what we were doing. He can be a little hardheaded, and it’s also why you love him, it’s why I love him.

“He’s learning from it, and I love where he’s at. I really do. I’m proud of him.”

She posted her own carousel of photos to Instagram, adding she is “so beyond grateful and in love” with their family of four.

They have remained relatively private about their personal life but were first linked together in September 2023. 

Prescott became the highest-paid quarterback in the NFL last season when the Cowboys signed him a four-year, $240 million contract extension. He missed the final nine games last season with a torn hamstring.

Patrick Mahomes says Travis Kelce 'doesn't seem like a guy' who's retiring soon

Patrick Mahomes says Travis Kelce 'doesn't seem like a guy' who's retiring soon

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

On the eve of the 2025 Super Bowl, it was reported Travis Kelce was considering retirement and what happened in the big game could influence his decision.

The Kansas City Chiefs’ dreams of a three-peat vanished, and Kelce announced he would be returning for the 2025 season.

It goes without saying Kelce is approaching the end of his career. 

He posted career lows in yards and touchdowns and, for a second straight season, failed to make an All-Pro team after doing so in eight consecutive years.

He’s also had two consecutive seasons without eclipsing the 1,000-yard mark in receiving yardage.

“If it’s the last ride, you would never know,” Mahomes told reporters Thursday at Chiefs practice. “The way he’s talking about football, the way he’s talking about working and trying to be even better this year than he was last year, he doesn’t seem like a guy like it’s his last ride, like he’s tired of the job.”

Kelce, 35, initially said he was “kicking every can I can down the road” regarding his decision to retire. But, ultimately, “I f—ing love playing the game of football.”

“I still feel like I can play at a high level and possibly at a higher level than I did last year. I don’t think it was my best outing. I think I let my guys down in a lot more moments than I helped them,” Kelce said on “New Heights” in March.

“Especially if you look at my track record and how I’ve been in years past. I want to give it a good run. I have a bad taste in my mouth in how I ended the year and how well I was playing and how accountable I was for the people around me. And I love so many people in Kansas City, both in that facility and in the community, and it’s home for me.

“I don’t want to leave that life yet. I’ve put in a lot of hard work and put in a lot of focus into being the best that I can for KC. Last year, it didn’t end well for us, and I feel like there is a responsibility in me to play out the contract I initially signed to give Kansas City and the Chiefs organization everything I’ve got, and that’s what I’m gonna do, man.”
