Williams is dealing with a groin injury, but coach Dan Campbell said the wideout will return to practice next week, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear if the injury is the reason Williams didn't play in Detroit's second preseason game after catching two passes for 30 yards in the first. He struggled with injuries in Oakland/Vegas the past two years, but reports out of camp suggests Williams is emerging as the No. 1 option for arguably the weakest WR group in the league. He might not be a good fit for that role, but it could still lead to fantasy value if the target volume is right.
