The Detroit Lions are getting back one former first-round pick just as they lose another. Prized receiver Jameson Williams will practice on Sunday after missing the last four sessions with a leg injury. Sunday’s practice will be short and light after two hard days of hitting, but Williams’ return will still be a welcomed sight for the young wideout.
“Jamo will be out there today,” head coach Dan Campbell said before practice. “Now, by the way, today is a jog-through. We go hard for two days, we’re full pads, we’re physical, and we’re going to ramp back down today. It’s a shorter practice, it’s just over an hour, a jog-through, we’ll have two fields going. But Jamo will be out there for that.
“It’s important. We need him out there. He needs the reps, he needs the mental reps. But there again, he’s out there in the afternoon walk-throughs going through those things, but during the morning practice, man, part of that time is to get him out there and to rehab and get him running and get him moving. But yeah, young player, hadn’t played (much), so yeah, we do need him out there. The clock’s ticking every day. But that’s why he’ll be out there today. We’re pretty close to getting him back out there at (padded) practice.”
Sounds like Williams has not been cleared for the kind of padded practice the Lions have held the last two days, and will hold again on Monday morning. But he’s close, and needs all the reps he can get before his suspension begins in September.
Pro Bowl right tackle Penei Sewell has entered the concussion protocol following a head injury on Friday, while Williams is just making a limited comeback. Although he’s doing fine, he won’t be able to go back until at least Wednesday. On Saturday, Matt Nelson replaced him at right tackle.
