Lions don't expect rookie Jameson Williams to be ready for start of training camp

Allen Park — The Detroit Lions aren't expecting to have one of their two first-round picks at the start of next month's training camp.

According to coach Dan Campbell, rookie wide receiver Jameson Williams isn't expected to be far enough along in his rehab from a torn ACL suffered in January to participate at the start of camp.

As the team breaks for summer following next week's final OTA practices, Williams is planning to stick around the Lions practice facility so that his rehab can be closely managed by the team.

"He's gonna be around, he's gonna be around here with us, and in the short period in which he does go home, we know where he's gonna be and who those people are," Campbell said "With that being said, I don't see him being ready for training camp.
