  • Looks doubtful for Week 6

    Lions head coach Dan Campbell suggested Tuesday that Williams (concussion) isn't on track to be activated from injured reserve ahead of the team's Week 6 game against the Bengals, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports. "It's off in the distance," Campbell said of Williams' potential return.

    Analysis: Campbell said a day earlier that Williams would have a chance at making it back this week, but the coach seemingly changed his tone after the receiver underwent an evaluation Tuesday. The fact that Williams doesn't look on track to play Week 6 isn't necessarily indicative of a setback; the wideout may have simply plateaued in his recovery from the concussion he sustained in the Lions' season-opening loss to the 49ers. With Quintez Cephus (collarbone) expected to join Williams on IR in the…read more

  • Week 6 return possible

    Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Williams (concussion) will undergo an evaluation Tuesday with the hope that he'll be cleared to return to practice this week, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.

    Analysis: Williams has been sidelined since Week 1 and resided on injured reserve for the past three games, making him eligible to rejoin Detroit for practice this week. His upcoming evaluation should provide the Lions with a better sense of where he stands in his recovery from his concussion, but if Williams gets the green light to practice fully at some point Wednesday through Friday, he could be active for Sunday's game against the Bengals. An already shallow Lions wideout corps has sorely missed…read more

  • Lands on IR

    Williams (concussion) has been placed on IR by the Lions.

    Analysis: With that, Williams is slated to miss Detroit's next three games, at a minimum. In his absence, Kalif Raymond, Quintez Cephus, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Trinity Benson are in line to head the team's WR corps for the time being.

  • Unlikely to play Week 3

    Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Wednesday that Williams (concussion) isn't expected to suit up Sunday against the Ravens, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

    Analysis: Williams has been sidelined since taking a helmet-to-helmet hit Week 1 that forced him into the concussion protocol. With no return to practice in sight, there's no telling when he'll get through all five phases of the protocol to set himself up to get back on the field. In Williams' place, Quintez Cephus, Kalif Raymond, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Trinity Benson are poised to serve as the Lions' top four wide receivers.

  • Ruled out Monday

    Williams (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's contest against the Packers, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: The veteran wideout had just two receptions for 14 yards before leaving Week 1 with a concussion. Williams hasn't been able to practice all week so the designation isn't surprising, but it's telling the team hadn't even went through Saturday's practice before making the announcement. Amon-Ra St. Brown, Quintez Cephus and Kalif Raymond should see a healthy bump in playing time heading into Monday's contest.

  • Still not practicing

    Williams (concussion) remained absent from practice Friday, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

    Analysis: Williams has been unable to practice at all this week and remains in concussion protocol after taking a hit to the head in the season opener against San Francisco. The wide receiver has an extra day to heal up with Detroit's next game coming Monday against the Packers, but that doesn't seem like it will be enough time for him to get back on the field given the lack of progress in his recovery up to this point.

  • Absent for another practice

    Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Williams (concussion) won't participate in Thursday's practice, Chris Burke of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Since entering the concussion protocol following Sunday's loss to the 49ers, Williams hasn't progressed enough from the head injury to even show up at the practice facility for meetings. With that in mind, Campbell conceded it "doesn't look great" for Williams' chances of playing Week 2 against the Packers, even with the longer turnaround for the Monday night game. Assuming Williams is inactive this week, Quintez Cephus and Trinity Benson would likely get more opportunities to share the field…read more

  • In concussion protocol

    Williams was placed in concussion protocol after taking a hard hit in Sunday's loss to the 49ers, Eric Woodyard of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Williams will need to clear concussion protocol in order to suit up Week 2 against the Packers, though he'll have an extra day to do so since the NFC North rivalry game is scheduled for Monday night. Kalif Raymond, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Quintez Cephus likely will work as the Lions' top three wide receivers should Williams sit.

  • Exits game after hard hit

    Williams (undisclosed) caught two of three targets for 14 yards during Sunday's 41-33 loss to San Francisco.

    Analysis: Williams didn't do much before absorbing a helmet-to-helmit hit at the start of the third quarter that drew a personal foul from a San Francisco safety for hitting a defenseless receiver. While the extent of Williams' situation isn't clear, it would not be a surprise if he lands in the league's concussion protocol, which would put the veteran's status for Week 2 in question. While it helps that the Lions don't play until Monday night, look for Trinity Benson to see a heightened role if Williams…read more

  • Not on injury report

    Williams (groin) isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report ahead of the Lions' season opener Sunday against the 49ers.

    Analysis: Williams missed a few practices in late August but otherwise enjoyed a productive summer, seemingly establishing himself as the No. 1 wide receiver for new Lions quarterback Jared Goff. It's been five years since Williams saw even 70 targets in a season, but he's always been efficient on a per-target basis, and he now has a nice opportunity to see steady volume if he can stay healthy. Williams managed to play all 16 games in three consecutive seasons from 2016 through 2018 before playing…read more

  • In line for large role

    Williams (groin) could handle a large target share as Detroit's clear No. 1 wide receiver, Chris Burke of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: After the Lions parted ways with Breshad Perriman on Monday, Williams is clearly Detroit's top outside wide receiver. Each of the next three guys on the depth chart -- Amon-Ra St. Brown, Kalif Raymond and Quintez Cephus -- do their best work from the slot. While the Detroit passing game will likely revolve around tight end T.J. Hockenson and, when healthy, running back D'Andre Swift (groin) this season, Williams seems to have a fantastic opportunity to top the career-high 7.4 targets per game…read more

  • Bothered by groin

    Williams is dealing with a groin injury, but head coach Dan Campbell said the wideout will return to practice next week, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: It's unclear if the injury is the reason Williams didn't play in Detroit's second preseason game after catching two passes for 30 yards in the first. He struggled with injuries as a member of the Raiders the past two years, but reports out of camp suggests Williams is emerging as the No. 1 option for arguably the weakest wideout group in the league. He might not be a good fit for that role, but it could still lead to fantasy value if the target volume is right.

  • No action Saturday

    Williams did not suit up for Saturday's preseason loss to the Steelers, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: Like Jared Goff and Jamie Collins, Williams was given the night off after getting a little run in the preseason opener. We probably won't see them in next week's exhibition finale against the Colts, either. Regardless, the 29-year-old already has established himself as Goff's No. 1 option at wideout even though he's probably no higher than the No. 3 option in the passing game behind tight end T.J. Hockenson and running back D'Andre Swift (groin) entering Week 1.

  • Treated like Detroit's top wideout

    Williams caught two of four targets for 30 yards in Friday's 16-15 preseason loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Williams could be Detroit's No. 1 wide receiver this season, and quarterback Jared Goff treated him like one -- four of Goff's nine passes in this one went in Williams' direction. The 29-year-old wideout secured catches of 20 and 10 yards, but he also failed to get any separation on an end-zone target that was knocked away by the defender. Tight end T.J. Hockenson, who sat this one out with an undisclosed injury, is likely to be Goff's top target moving forward, but Williams is making a case to…read more

  • Returns to practice

    Williams (groin/finger) returned to practice Monday, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

    Analysis: Williams was held out of Saturday's practice due to a groin injury, but he was back in action following a brief absence. The 29-year-old also had been dealing with a dislocated pinky finger recently, but his return to the field bodes well for his status for Friday's exhibition game against the Bills.

  • Missing time with injury

    Williams did not practice Saturday due to a groin injury, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

    Analysis: Williams is also evidently dealing with a dislocated pinky finger, but neither injury seems to be something that should keep the veteran wide receiver out for long. Breshad Perriman (hip) and Quintez Cephus (head) were also kept out of practice Saturday, so the Lions could simply be practicing caution with their pass-catching corps.

  • Playing through dislocated finger

    Williams dislocated the pinky finger on his left hand Tuesday, but he practiced Wednesday and said he felt no residual pain, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Analysis: The injury doesn't appear to be anything that will affect Williams' availability for next week's preseason opener against Buffalo, let alone Week 1 of the regular season. What's probably more concerning for the veteran's outlook is that reports of the Lions' Jared Goff-led offense haven't been encouraging through the first week of training camp.

  • Catching passes during OTAs

    Williams (shoulder) is participating in 7-on-7 drills during OTAs, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: Presumably fully recovered from the labrum tear that wiped out his 2020 campaign, Williams made a big play Thursday on a pass from Jared Goff. Should the 29-year-old stay healthy this summer, he could be one of the quarterback's top targets in 2021 after Detroit did nothing more to provide competition on the perimeter than sign the injury-prone Breshad Perriman, who has never played a full season. Behind those two, the likes of Quintez Cephus and fourth-round rookie Amon-Ra St. Brown sit atop…read more

  • Closer to full health

    Williams (shoulder) called himself "95 percent" during an introductory press conference with the Lions on Monday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Williams missed the entire 2020 season after tearing the labrum in his right shoulder in late August. He eventually underwent surgery to address the issue in September, and Tom Pelissero of NFL Network noted Feb. 11 that Williams was 2-to-3 weeks away from full health. Based off Williams' more recent comment, he has a bit more to do to get back to 100 percent, but it likely won't stop him from participating in the offseason program, assuming teams hold them in-person this year.

  • Inking deal with Detroit

    Williams (shoulder) agreed Wednesday with the Lions on a one-year contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Signed by the Raiders to a four-year, $44 million contract two years ago, Williams put up a 42-651-6 stat line in 2019 before missing the entire 2020 campaign with a labrum injury. Las Vegas then released him in late February, making the 29-year-old wideout immediately eligible to sign with a new team. Williams took about a week to find his home, joining the new-look Lions with Jared Goff at quarterback, Dan Campbell as head coach and both Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones scheduled for free…read more

    The Raiders released Williams (shoulder) on Wednesday.

    Analysis: Reports of Williams' pending release initially surfaced back in January, so it doesn't come as any sort of surprise that the Raiders have now made the transaction official. Williams, who missed all of 2020 due to a labrum injury, was just two seasons into the four-year, $44 million deal he inked with the Raiders back in 2019. Per Tashan Reed of The Athletic, his release will save Las Vegas $11.6 million in cap space for 2021, and $23.1 million over the next two years. Now 29 years old, Williams…read more

  • Expected to be cut

    The Raiders are expected to release Williams (shoulder) at the start of the new league year in March, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Williams missed the entire 2020 season due to a shoulder injury, for which he underwent surgery back in September, but Pelissero reports he's now just two to three weeks away from full health. The soon-to-be 29-year-old was fairly effective for the Raiders back in 2019, when he logged a 42-651-6 stat line in 14 contests despite battling plantar fasciitis, so he could be an intriguing free-agent option for teams in need of veteran help at wideout. Cutting Williams would free up roughly $11.6…read more

    Williams (shoulder) would need to agree to a reduced salary to have any shot of staying with the Raiders, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Signed to a four-year, $44 million contract during the 2019 offseason, Williams battled through plantar fasciitis in his first year with the Raiders before missing the entire second season with a shoulder injury. He should recover from September labrum surgery in time for the offseason program, but he's facing an uncertain future with no guaranteed money remaining on his contract. Williams turns 29 in February, and he won't be handed a starting job in 2021, regardless of where he ends up…read more

  • To undergo shoulder surgery

    Williams, who was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, will undergo surgery on the torn labrum in his right shoulder at some point in September, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Williams initially expected to play through the injury, but instead surgery has been ordered up, which will cause him to miss the entirety of his sixth NFL season. In his stead, the Raiders are expected to go with an inexperienced receiving corps composed of two rookies (Henry Ruggs, Bryan Edwards) and a second-year slot specialist (Hunter Renfrow).

    The Raiders placed Williams (shoulder) on injured reserve Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: A little more than a week removed from suffering a torn labrum in his right shoulder, Williams won't suit up this season after initially planning to play through the injury. With the decision made to shut down the 28-year-old, the Raiders likely will trot out a young receiving corps, led by rookie first-rounder Henry Ruggs and supplemented by slot man Hunter Renfrow and 2020 third-round pick Bryan Edwards.

    Analysis: Williams has played through the exact same injury on two previous occasions, as noted by Tafur during Thursday's episode of State of the Nation: once during his senior season at Western Oregon and then in 2015 with the Chargers. That the 28-year-old has some experience dealing with this exact injury is hopeful, and the Raiders have left the door open for Williams to possibly suit up for the season opener Sept. 13 versus the Panthers.

    Williams recently sustained a torn labrum in his shoulder, but the wideout intends to put off surgery and play through the injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Williams plans to take the next few weeks off to treat the injury through rest and rehab, leaving the door open for him to be available for the Raiders' season opener Sept. 13 at Carolina. After he missed only two games in 2019 while battling plantar fasciitis in both of his feet for a large portion of the season, Williams has shown an ability to play through injuries, though this latest shoulder issue could provide more unique complications.

  • Overcomes foot issues

    Williams said he's "over the hump" in dealing with the plantar fasciitis that bothered him last season, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Williams was hampered by both of his feet, missing two games in October and ultimately failing to maintain his strong start to the season. He finished with a 42-651-6 receiving line on 64 targets, with both his stat line and snap count (727) looking oddly similar to what he had done the previous two years with the Chargers. The 28-year-old is entering the second season of a four-year, $44 million contract, and while better health might theoretically lead to more targets, he's now facing tougher…read more

    Williams dealt with plantar fasciitis in both feet last season, but he's believed to be healthy now, ESPN.com's Paul Gutierrez reports.

    Analysis: Williams technically missed only two games in the first season of a four-year, $44 million contract, but he didn't make much noise after Week 8. He scored five of his six touchdowns in his first five games, while his final nine appearances yielded only 344 yards and one score. In terms of per-target efficiency, he built on his excellent track record from his time with the Chargers, with his 10.2 YPT placing seventh among qualified pass catchers.

He's now entering the second season of a four-year, $44.4 million contract, with his $11 million base salary for 2020 vesting to a full guarantee earlier this month, per overthecap.com.

    Analysis: Williams began the 2019 regular season strong, recording a touchdown grab in each of the first four games. However, he was then forced to sit out back-to-back games due to plantar fasciitis issues. The 28-year-old wideout toughed out the remainder of the season, but he was clearly hobbled by his lingering foot injury, culminating in a Week 17 tilt in which he wasn't targeted.

"But it's hard to play when your feet are on fire. His feet were hurting." Williams has been dealing with plantar fasciitis, and it has affected his performance lately.

    Analysis: Williams wasn't listed on Wednesday's practice/injury report estimate, so the wideout's Thursday addition makes his status for Sunday's game against the Broncos worth monitoring. Williams, who brought in all four of his targets for 82 yards in the Raiders' Week 16 win over the Chargers, heads into his team's regular-season finale with a 42/651/6 stat line through 13 contests.

His longest reception came in the first quarter on a slant pass across the middle that he subsequently turned upfield for a big gain.

    Williams caught two of three targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Jaguars.

    Analysis: A battle with plantar fasciitis seems to be the cause of his recent swoon, but Williams still supplied the Raiders' only TD of the day on a 40-yard strike from Derek Carr in the first quarter -- the receiver's first trip to the end zone since Week 8. Williams has seen six targets or less in eight straight games, making him a risky fantasy option, but he'll try to finish the season on a high note beginning next Sunday in Atlanta.

  • Battling plantar fasciitis

    Williams doesn't appear on the Raiders' Week 15 injury report, but offensive coordinator Greg Olson acknowledged Thursday that the receiver is still "battling" the plantar fasciitis that kept him sidelined for two games earlier this season, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports. "Plantar fasciitis, it's a pretty significant injury," Olson said. "He's taking medication before every game trying to manage the pain."

    Analysis: Williams opened his tenure in Oakland with a bang, scoring a touchdown in each of his first four games before the foot injury sidelined him for three weeks. He returned to action in Week 8 and kept his touchdown streak going, but he's been held out of the end zone in the six games that followed and has only topped 50 receiving yards on one occasion. Though Williams' case of plantar fasciitis doesn't look like it'll threaten his availability for the remainder of the season, the injury may at…read more

  • Makes three catches vs. Titans

    Williams caught three of four targets for 35 yards during Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: Williams led Raiders wideouts in targets and hauled in 75 percent of his looks. Unfortunately, the volume was low and his long gain went for just 18 yards, so the overall output wasn't particularly impressive. Williams has been held under 50 receiving yards in five of the last six games and will look to break out next Sunday against Jacksonville.

  • Nearly invisible in big loss

    Williams caught one of four targets for nine yards in Sunday's 40-9 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: His lone catch didn't come until the fourth quarter, when the game was long out of reach. Williams hasn't found the end zone since Week 8 and hasn't topped 25 receiving yards in three of the last four games, disappearing just when the Raiders seemed to be pushing themselves into playoff contention. The fifth-year receiver will try to reverse his fortunes in Week 14 against the Titans.

  • Grounded by Jets

    Williams caught two of six passes for 18 yards in Sunday's 34-3 loss to the Jets.

    Analysis: Drops doomed the Raiders before this one got away from them, and Williams was among the culprits. Expectations were high for him coming into this meeting with an underwhelming Jets secondary, but Williams failed to live up to them with season lows in both catches and receiving yards. Oakland's No. 1 receiver will have to be better for the team to stand any chance against Kansas City in Week 13.

  • Averages 20.5 yards per catch

    Williams caught all four of his targets for 82 yards during Sunday's 17-10 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Williams led the team in receiving yards while averaging an impressive 20.5 yards per reception. He finished third on the team in targets, but his efficiency buoyed him to his third-best receiving output of the campaign. Williams hasn't reached the end zone in the last three games after scoring in his first five appearances of the season, but his involvement should afford him some upside heading into next Sunday's matchup against the Jets.

  • Nondescript line in win

    Williams secured three of five targets for 25 yards in the Raiders' 26-24 win over the Chargers on Thursday.

    Analysis: Williams' long reception went for a modest 12 yards, even as he tied with several players for the team lead in targets. The 27-year-old speedster opened the season with touchdown receptions in each of the first five games he suited up for, but he's now been kept out of the end zone in consecutive contests. Williams does have at least three grabs in each game this season, but he'll look to bounce back from Thursday's season-low yardage tally against the Bengals in a Week 11 matchup a week from…read more

  • Scoring streak comes to end

    Williams hauled in three of four targets for 48 yards Sunday in the Raiders' 31-24 win over the Lions.

    Analysis: Even though Derek Carr threw for his second-best yardage total of the season (289), Williams turned in a rather pedestrian outing as the quarterback spread the targets around to nine different pass catchers. Carr's two touchdown passes on the day went to Hunter Renfrow and Foster Moreau, marking the first time that Williams failed to reach the end zone in his six games this season. Better days should be ahead for the former Charger, though he may have a tough time bouncing back on Thursday…read more
