Detroit Lions won't rush Jameson Williams' return: 'That’s a long-term investment'

Jameson Williams' rehab from a torn ACL is going well enough that he could be back sooner than the Detroit Lions anticipated, but Lions general manager Brad Holmes said Thursday he still plans to proceed carefully with the talented rookie receiver.

"I know he’s chomping out the bit," Holmes said in his annual end-of-training camp news conference. "I mean, he’ll put a helmet on right now and go out there and he would jog a slant route if he could. But we got to be smart because we didn’t make that move for him just for Year 1.
