Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Josh Williams.
This isn’t the kind of news the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were expecting to deal with headed into the most important 2-game stretch of the season.
The NFL announced it was suspending Buccaneers rookie running Josh Williams for using PEDS on Tuesday, November 11, which wouldn’t make him eligible to return until a Week 17 road game against the Miami Dolphins.
“Bucs RB Josh Williams has been suspended six games without pay for violating the NFL’s Performance-Enhancing Substances Policy, the league announced,” Tampa Bay Times reporter Rick Stroud wrote on his official X account.
“Bucs rookie running back Josh WIlliams has been suspended for six games without pay for violating the NFL’s Performance-Enhancing Substances Policy,” Fox Sports NFL reporter Greg Auman wrote on his official X account. “He has played in three games this season, with four carries for 11 yards.”
The Buccaneers are coming off a 28-23 home loss to the New England Patriots in Week 10 and face consecutive road games against a pair of Super Bowl contenders when they travel to face the Buffalo Bills in Week 11 and the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12.
“Buccaneers’ RB Josh Williams is suspended six games without pay for violating the NFL’s Performance-Enhancing Substances Policy,” ESPN’s Adam Schefter wrote on his official X account. “Williams will be eligible for reinstatement on Tuesday, December 22, following the Buccaneers’ Week 16 game against the Carolina Panthers.”
