FOX 2 - Lions coach Dan Campbell said he isn't worried about Jameson Williams at Wednesday press conference with the media.
Campbell said that Williams, who was involved in a traffic stop with a gun he legally owned was inside the car that his brother was driving - has been truthful with the team all along. Williams was never ticketed or cited in the case, which is now being revisted by the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office.
"It certainly doesn't look good. I get that, you know," he said. "And it's really decision-making, you know, for him and you know, and that's where he knows he can be better."
Williams, 23. is currently serving a two-game suspension for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing substance policy, interrupting a break-out third career season with the team.
Cambell said Williams is going to learn from this.
"Look for me, man, I judge people over what's in their heart, and I know what this kid's made of," he said. "And, you know, and he's worth hanging with. He's going to grow, he'll be better for all this."
Campbell said the news - which came out about the situation Tuesday - is not a distraction for the team. The coach said with the current suspension, he compared it to when players are injured and aren't part of the game plan anyway.
"I know you'd rather not be dealt dealing with it, and you don't want the players to have to deal with it. But I think (by) the same token, I really for us and the players, it's a little bit of a non-issue, because he's not, you know, he's not here.
"I mean, he's in the building, and he's, doing what he can, but we also know we didn't have him last week. We're prepared not to have him this week."

At a news conference on a separate investigation, Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy briefly discussed Williams.
"We just received that warrant request and so we're going to have to look at it and treat it like any other case," she said. "And seeing if we can charge and if we can charge - what we will charge. We just don't know at this point."
Detroit Police Chief James White was also asked about how the department handled the case, where a report was not taken. It is now being reviewed by Internal Affairs, which could take up to 30 days.
"We're going to look at all aspects of the investigation," White said. "You know, did the officers act appropritately. We'll look at it, and be transparent about it as we always have. I made a statement about it.
"There are instances where the officers' actions would have lined up perfectly or there are some that didn't. But I don't know enough to really give you an informed comment yet until our Internal Affairs looks at it."
