The #Lions are moving rookie WR Jameson Williams to the Reserve/NFI list today, per source.

This was always the plan for Williams, the first-round pick who suffered a torn ACL in January’s national championship game. The hope is he’ll be ready to play around midseason.

Nothing surprising here. The general thought was Jameson Williams wasn’t going to be available until November for the Lions. Nonetheless, this confirms he’ll be out for at least the first four games to start the season. Either way, the good news is Williams hasn’t suffered any setbacks during training camp which is all you can really hope for at this given time.

Joining Williams though on the reserve list are Romeo Okwara, FB Jason Cabinda, and rookie DL Josh Paschal who all will also miss at least the first four games of the season according to Pelissero.

Detroit also moved moved Romeo Okwara to Reserve/PUP, along with FB Jason Cabinda and rookie DL Josh Paschal. All of them, and Jameson Williams, will miss at least the first four games. https://t.co/jflB6xwvbh
