Suspended!
November 11th, 2025
Busted.
Backup running back Josh Williams will miss six games as the NFL hammered him for failing a whizz quiz.
Per Ian Rapoport of NFL.com, Williams was popped for violating the NFL’s Performance-Enhancing Substances Policy. He will be out at least six games and is eligible for reinstatement in the Week 16 game against the Stinking Panthers.

This season just keeps getting better. (sarcasm obviously)
November 11th, 2025 at 4:29 pm
What in the heck is going on!? Juicing? C’mon Williams you’re screwing with your roster spot and opportunity, smh
November 11th, 2025 at 4:31 pm
the only guy on the roster we could afford to lose.
November 11th, 2025 at 4:36 pm
I forgot this dude was even on the team.
November 11th, 2025 at 4:38 pm
Stuck on stupid…could end his career
November 11th, 2025 at 4:39 pm
Curious to see if we still keep him on the roster after this revelation
November 11th, 2025 at 4:41 pm
Dude! WTF?
November 11th, 2025 at 4:45 pm
Who?
November 11th, 2025 at 4:49 pm
Depends on what he was doing – but I doubt he was knowingly taking something banned. Seemingly now a lot of guys are getting busted after buying crap off Amazon that turns out to have the good stuff in it – and they truly didn’t know. I just wish they’d tell us what has the good stuff in it so I could get some.
November 11th, 2025 at 4:56 pm
Jesus Christ.
November 11th, 2025 at 5:02 pm
Idiot
November 11th, 2025 at 5:05 pm
Bowles is responsible for all aspects of this team.
I guess this is another one of Jason Licht’s good guys
November 11th, 2025 at 5:11 pm
What performance?
November 11th, 2025 at 5:34 pm
When you’re #4 on the depth chart and stand to make millions that’s worth the gamble, IMO.
November 11th, 2025 at 5:37 pm
Anyone blaming Bowles or Licht is an ass
November 11th, 2025 at 5:58 pm
Might as well get the humor out of the way
That was enhanced?
Can he share with the O LINE?
November 11th, 2025 at 5:59 pm
Juicing or tanard Jackson Jr? Or Adderall Talib & Eric Wright
November 11th, 2025 at 6:08 pm
Meh, opens up a spot for an edge rusher..
November 11th, 2025 at 6:49 pm
How do you spell cut?

—————————————————–
Some commenters seem to believe Bowles & Licht are responsible for everything bad in the world, probably including climate change.
November 11th, 2025 at 6:58 pm
while bucky is out too. damn. gotta get the higher quality designer steroids like the rest of the league next time. he’s on that practice squad budget.
November 11th, 2025 at 7:18 pm
That’s funny Sethery.Lol
November 11th, 2025 at 7:24 pm
We only see the Mike Evans and Tristan Wirfs of the NFL. The 1% freaks of nature.
For most players, it’s nearly impossible to make a NFL team. I’ve ridden in more than one Uber with former D1 studs doing all they can to get an invite. They’d do anything to just make the practice squad.
I get it. I sympathize.
November 11th, 2025 at 7:47 pm
LOL @ “What performance?”
November 11th, 2025 at 7:47 pm
One of the few times I agree with carpet muncher…. it could be so many different things. Literally could be something from GNC. We will probably never know
November 11th, 2025 at 7:49 pm
Sly Pirate – When I was a teen and working in fast food, one guy who was a cook at our store was a huge guy, I joked that he looked like an NFL linebacker… Well, turns out he was a former starting linebacker for Oklahoma, was a legit draft prospect, then blew out his knee or something. He would have played probably in the late 70s I’d guess, based on when I knew him and I assume he was probably in his mid-30s at the time, but you know what they say, black don’t crack, so he might have been older and I didn’t realize it. Anywho, I wish I had talked to him more about playing days, but it felt so sad bringing it up. The guy probably hadn’t played in 10-15 years, and still looked the part.
But, for Williams here, I doubt its anything like that – I’m going to guess he just took some stuff he thought was OK, and it turned out it had something in it. More common with younger guys and bottom of the roster guys as they don’t have people managing everything they put in their bodies. Young guys in particular are bombarded with ads on stuff like TikTok to take supplements which they promise are safe to take and have no banned substances in it – but it’s all Chinese crap and no one knows what is in it. I could be wrong, purely guessing, but seemingly every time someone gets busted anymore it’s always the same thing – they took something that was labelled as safe, turns out it’s not.

Who is the #3 RB after White/Tucker? Owen Wright from practice squad? Also was Desmond Watson released again from squad?
November 11th, 2025 at 8:00 pm
Well, since he is just a body on the scout team, no real loss.
November 11th, 2025 at 8:05 pm
“Owen Wright from practice squad? Also was Desmond Watson released again from squad?“
Yes and yes.
November 11th, 2025 at 8:18 pm
Now, we lose “the locker room is full of character” schtick.
Rod, I might buy the argument that if he took a crap on your head, he mistook it for a toilet bowl. But you are spinning like a dreidel on the first day of Hannukah
November 11th, 2025 at 8:28 pm
For once I can agree with Munch.
November 11th, 2025 at 8:32 pm
Thanks Warren. I was rooting for Watson being a local. Owen Wright has Ernest Graham type build.
November 11th, 2025 at 9:05 pm
wouldnt be surprised if bucky is currently serving a silent suspension, not good if the marquee players get busted. the league just making an example of williams.

The idea thinking, “man, I’m going to give him the business,” and then posting that and hitting send and laughing at your comment, it literally makes me feel embarrassed for you. Yikes. I mean, to be sure, I don’t hit 100% on my insults, it’s like 99.4% – but even on my worst day it wouldn’t even be in the same universe with how lame that was.
Please try to do better in the future. I’ll pray for you.
November 11th, 2025 at 9:23 pm
his rb buddy bucky is most likely currently serving a silent suspension thats why he wasnt put on IR
November 11th, 2025 at 9:51 pm
Was hopping Desmond Watson made the team eventually, and we see him paired up with vita. Guess he just couldn’t get in shape, wish him the best.
November 11th, 2025 at 10:03 pm
Come on Licht, Find us a Pass Rusher. You got an open spot now.

The guy was an undrafted free agent.
November 11th, 2025 at 10:16 pm
This is a non-factor.
November 11th, 2025 at 10:18 pm
Watson is listed on the Bucs website as a practice squad player.
November 11th, 2025 at 10:18 pm
Yes. Licht and Bowles are responsible for everything on the Bucs.
That is exactly what the GM and HC of a pro sports team does.
FA, Drafted player, UFA rookie. Jason signed him. Period.
November 11th, 2025 at 10:22 pm
More excuses by fans to keep the blame from falling on the leadership of this team.
Bowles never takes responsibility for the failures of this team.
Man up.
November 11th, 2025 at 10:52 pm
Explains why he did so well in pre season. He was on the juice.
November 11th, 2025 at 11:25 pm
Agree with Rod M
None of these supplements are regulated by the FDA, no telling what is in them. If they were, it would cost more to purchase. The cost involved to get FDA approval would increase the cost considerably and possibly be denied.
November 12th, 2025 at 4:38 am
Six weeks is a long time. Is their a tier of suspension time for different drug testing outcomes? Or is six weeks the amount of suspension for all outcomes?
November 12th, 2025 at 12:49 pm
These guys aren’t using freaking gear and getting caught, it’s usually something they accidentally take when taking a pre-workout not on the NFL’s approved list. I hardly think this qualifies the guy as a cheater or a poor character guy.
