The NFL has decided to close the case involving Detroit Lions’ Jameson Williams regarding an unlicensed gun incident, with no disciplinary actions to follow. A spokesperson for the league confirmed on Wednesday to ESPN that Williams is clear of any punishment related to carrying an unlicensed firearm, and the matter has been resolved.

The Detroit Free Press reported that the league would not take any action against the Lions’ wide receiver after an October incident where Williams was pulled over with an unlicensed firearm.

“I love that kid because he’s been through a lot,” Lions head coach Dan Campbell told the Free Press. “And look, some of it is on him, and he knows that, and that’s what I respect — it took him a little while to buy into what we’re doing. He can be stubborn, but that’s also why you love him, it’s why I love him.”

Jameson Williams cleared of gun-related charges

Williams faced legal issues on October 8 when he and his brother were stopped just after midnight in the Detroit area. Police found two handguns in the vehicle, both of which were properly registered. However, Williams did not have a concealed pistol license, which could have led to charges for carrying a concealed weapon in the car.

Williams was not arrested or charged. A police sergeant who arrived at the scene, a Lions fan, briefly placed Williams in handcuffs before releasing him. The sergeant, after consulting with a lieutenant over the phone, decided to let him go due to his recognition of the player.

Now in his third NFL season, Williams had his best year yet, recording career highs with 1,001 yards and seven touchdowns from 58 receptions. Drafted by the Lions with the 12th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft out of Alabama, he still lacks extensive NFL experience.

“He’s learned a lot along the way and grown, and honestly… it just keeps getting better and better. Every challenge he faces, he learns from it, and I’m excited about where he is right now. I’m really proud of him,” Campbell said.
