Williams (leg/personal) practiced with the Lions on Saturday, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams returned to practice Thursday before being absent Friday, which was due to personal reasons, according to head coach Dan Campbell. The rookie first-round pick struggled with a leg injury during OTAs, but that looks like it's behind him with training camp underway. Williams is vying for a starting role at defensive tackle next to DJ Reader because Alim McNeill (knee) is expected to miss a few months to start the year.

Williams (leg) has not yet participated in OTAs, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The defensive tackle and 2025 first-round pick fell to the turf field near the end of his 40-yard dash at Ohio State's pro day back in March, per Joey Kaufman of The Columbus Dispatch. Williams was seen walking under his own power later in the day and also tweeted that the injury wasn't serious. Detroit coach Dan Campbell said Thursday that the team just wants its rookies "healthy and ready to go, full speed, come training camp," per Bianchi.
