Per the NFL transaction wire, the Detroit Lions have signed running back Jonathan Williams, poaching him from the Washington Football Team’s practice squad and placing them on the Lions active roster.
Williams returns to Detroit after a brief, one-month stint with the team. The Lions signed him on Aug. 17 to the main roster, but released him on Sept. 5 and placed him on the practice squad. He was again brought up to the active roster just a week afterwards for the Week 1 game against the Chicago Bears, but promptly sent back to the practice squad, and then released not long after that.
