Jameson Williams injury update: Detroit Lions WR dealing with shoulder
As Detroit Lions WR Jameson Williams sits, CB Nick Whiteside also will miss his second straight practice Monday, with a minor hamstring injury.
Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams is set to miss his second consecutive practice on Monday, August 17, due to a shoulder injury. Coach Dan Campbell stated that the absence is precautionary and that Williams is expected to return soon. The Lions face the Washington Commanders in an exhibition game on Saturday, followed by a preseason finale against the Indianapolis Colts on August 29.
Other players dealing with minor injuries, including cornerback Nick Whiteside with a hamstring issue and guard Ben Bartch recovering from Lisfranc surgery, will also sit out the practice. Williams led the team in catches and yards last season, with 65 receptions and 1,117 yards. He has been a key factor in the Lions' passing game, pairing well with Amon-Ra St. Brown.
Whiteside and Bartch have been vying for playing time as backups, with Martin stepping in at receiver during Williams' absence. Campbell emphasized that the injuries are not serious.
