The Lions activated rookie receiver Jameson Williams from the non-football injury/reserve list Saturday afternoon, paving the way for him to make his NFL debut on Sunday against the Jaguars.
Williams, who hasn’t played in a game since he tore his ACL in the national championship game with Alabama last season, was elevated to the active roster for the first time since he was selected by Detroit with the No. 12 pick in the 2022 NFL draft. Since suffering the severe knee injury in January, the 21-year-old wideout has spent most of his time on rehabbing and on the Lions’ sideline.
