Detroit Lions ink RB, DB in Monday roster moves
The Detroit Lions signed a pair of players on Monday and placed a pair on the Reserve/Injured list.
The Detroit Lions made two roster moves on Monday, adding rookie running back Roydell Williams and defensive back Jason Taylor II. Williams, a 24-year-old undrafted player from Florida State, spent time with the Indianapolis Colts before being waived five days ago. The 5-foot-10, 223-pound back had limited playing time in college, appearing in only 10 games over two seasons for the Florida State Seminoles, where he gained 99 rushing yards and scored two touchdowns.
Taylor, a seventh-round pick from the 2023 NFL Draft, previously played for the Los Angeles Rams, Arizona Cardinals, and Kansas City Chiefs. The 6-foot, 204-pound defensive back amassed 175 career tackles, 11 pass deflections, eight interceptions, and 2.5 sacks during his rookie season with the Rams. The Lions also placed running back Raheem Blackshear and wide receiver Cedrick Wilson on Reserve/Injured.
