Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said on Thursday there’s a “good chance” the second-year wide receiver Jameson Williams will miss the rest of the preseason after suffering a hamstring injury during Wednesday’s practice. Williams sustained the injury during Wednesday’s training camp practice while running a route, leaving the session after the injury.

Williams was already suspended for the first six games of the 2023 season for violating the league’s gambling policy. Williams was among several Lions players to receive suspensions from the NFL in April for violating the league’s policy on sports betting. He received a six-game suspension for betting on non-NFL games from an NFL facility. Williams will come off suspension ahead of the Lions’ Week 7 game against the Baltimore Ravens on Oct. 22.

After suffering an ACL tear in college, Williams, 22, missed most of his rookie campaign recovering from the knee injury he suffered in the College Football Playoff national championship game with Alabama prior to the draft.  He caught one of nine targets for a 41-yard touchdown in six games last season, finishing with 81 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown last season.
