An NFC North rival of the Green Bay Packers saw tensions rise between one of their wide receivers and a defensive back who will be lucky to make the team this year. The Detroit Lions are predicted as the best team in the division, but they’ve been in the headlines this offseason for troubling reasons such as the gambling scandal.
Wide receiver Jameson Williams was one of the four Lions players the league found to be in violation of the NFL’s gambling policy. The NFL gave him a six-week suspension during the regular season for the violation. Williams is still practicing with the Lions during training camp, but he let his frustrations get the best of him Monday.

According to Ayre Pulli with Off Sports Place, Williams struggled during Monday’s practice, dropping two passes on the day. Williams allegedly threw a punch at defensive back Starling Thomas after the UDFA talked back at Williams after successfully defending a pass.

Not a great look for the Detroit Lions
That’s not a great look for the Lions. Following the practice, we’ll see how the Lions address this incident with the media.
The Lions aren’t the only team with feisty practices at training camp. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce recently said he needed to be better after an incident where he punched linebacker Jack Cochrane.
Fights happen at training camp. Players at this point in the year have not hit an opponent’s player in six months. It’s hard to remember who the enemy is.
But Williams has to control his frustrations on the field. Throwing punches and losing one’s temper can cause problems on game day. The Packers saw that happen with linebacker Quay Walker last season.
