Roy

Williams

We think the Lions are just being very cautious with Williams. He should start on Sunday barring any setback and is a decent play at New York.

“Roy ran more,” Mariucci said, referring to the Friday workout. “He ran strides faster, moved laterally a little bit. Is he ready yet? No, but he’s making progress. He’s getting closer. That’s going to be a game-time decision.”

Williams suited up last Sunday, but didn’t play. We expect him to practice later in the week and play on Sunday.

He’s questionable with an ankle. Coach Mariucci said Williams wouldn’t necessarily have to practice to play, so Williams could be a game-time decision. Stay tuned.

A great sign for Williams owners. “Roy — we’re hopeful. I can’t say if he’ll play for sure because I want to see him cut, and I want to see him plant,” coach Steve Mariucci said. Watch today’s practice reports for updates, but he’s looking very possible to play.

He’ll be evaluated again Wednesday and will likely be listed as questionable. Coach Mariucci called Williams “iffy” earlier today.

“Roy (Williams) ran more...he ran strides faster, moved laterally a little bit. Is he ready yet? No, but he’s making progress. He’s getting closer,” coach Steve Mariucci said today. Williams has a great match-up if he does play, so this is a tough call. We’d take him out of lineups until Sunday morning.

Watch the next few days of practice reports, but Williams is looking like a risky play this weekend.

We’d love to see him complete a full practice, but it looks like Williams will give it a go. He’s a decent option at WR3, but benching him isn’t a terrible idea because of the injury.

He hasn’t practiced fully the last three weeks. Since he was able to play well last week without practicing in pads, we’re not too concerned.
