Lions Have A Challenge To Get Jameson Williams Ready
2 years agoDetroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson said it could be quite tricky to get rookie wide receiver Jameson Williams (knee) to fit into their offense right away. Josh Reynolds came to the team and immediately had an impact given his prior chemistry with quarterback Jared Goff from their time with the Los Angeles Rams. Williams was one of the top receivers in this year's draft, but he hasn't been practicing with the team as he recovers from a torn ACL he suffered in January. The Lions are taking things slowly with Williams' rehab, and there's a chance he begins the year on the Physically Unable to Perform list, which would cause him to miss at least the first six games. "That's a real struggle for us is to get him back, to get him healthy, and then (get him) as many reps as possible with the quarterbacks so that we know exactly where he's going to be, we can anticipate the throw," Johnson said.
