Cephus, Moore, and Toney have all been suspended indefinitely through to at least the conclusion of the 2023 season, while Jameson Williams and Stanley Berryhill are suspended for the first six games of the Lions’ regular season games.

They are prohibited to do it while at an NFL facility, including the locker room, a team flight, team hotel, etc. https://t.co/3ReW4b0cIZ
