The Lions downgraded starting defensive tackle Nick Williams to out for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers because of a shoulder injury.

Williams, who had two tackles in his Lions debut against his old team the Chicago Bears last week, was a limited participant in practice all week and was listed as questionable on the team's injury report.
His absence means Da'Shawn Hand will play a bigger role up front, alongside starters Danny Shelton and Trey Flowers.
