00:00 Are getting an explosive weapon back on a fence earlier than expected.
00:06 The league announced Friday second-year wide receiver Jameson Williams' six-game suspension
00:10 has been reduced and he'll be reinstated on Monday.
00:14 Williams is eligible to play in Detroit's next game October.
00:17 8 vs. Carolina at Ford Field.
00:21 Williams was originally suspended six games for violating the league's gambling policy,

00:31 violations and in doing so have reduced Williams' suspension.
00:35 Betting on NFL games, attempting to fix games, giving out inside information, or third-party
00:41 betting or proxy betting are still subject to an indefinite suspension at a minimum of
00:46 one year.
00:48 But the new policy now states that players betting on non-football games in the workplace
00:52 or while working, which Williams was suspended for, now face a two-game suspension without
00:57 pay on the first violation.
01:00 A six-game suspension on the second violation and will be suspended without pay for at least
01:05 a year on the third violation, Williams can return to practice and full activities starting
01:10 Monday.
01:12 Which is a big boost for a Lions offense that is currently playing some pretty good football
01:16 during the team's 3-1 start to the season.
01:20 This brings a speed element to Detroit's receiver cores that opponents will have to prepare
01:24 for and guard against.
