On Wednesday, Jameson Williams won’t be practicing.
Lions wideout won’t be at the team’s opening practice this week.
One of the Detroit Lions’ best young wideouts won’t be present at practice on Wednesday before their Week 18 matchup with the Minnesota Vikings.
Jameson Williams hurt his ankle during a second-half completion of more than sixty yards, necessitating his departure from Saturday’s game against the Cowboys.
Williams praised his brilliant play, but after the deep completion, he was visibly limping.
The quick wide receiver has gotten along well with quarterback Jared Goff this season.
Williams has worked harder in practice since his suspension was shortened to only four games, and Ben Johnson’s offence has rewarded him with more targets.
Detroit’s second-year wide out hauled in two passes for 69 yards against Dallas.
Williams and rookie tight end Sam LaPorta were both allegedly seen hobbling out of the game.
LaPorta is expected to suit up against the Vikings in the season finale at Ford Field, and Campbell said that the gifted tight end is “good” this week. LaPorta will be ready for practice.
The third-year head coach of Detroit said he plans to debut his starting lineup this week. Meanwhile, the squad still has a chance to lock up the NFC’s second seed.
For Detroit to advance one spot in the playoff rankings, it needs to defeat both the Cowboys and the Eagles in addition to winning 12 games this year.
Even though it’s expected that Detroit will finish the 2023 regular season as the third seed, Campbell and the coaching staff still want the young team to push for the top spot.
