ESPN Sport: Lions key player ruled out for the rest of the season due to injury.

Jameson Williams, a wide receiver for the Detroit Lions, may have injured his ankle following his team’s 26-20 victory over the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1. Williams had five receptions for 121 receiving yards, a 13-yard carry, and one touchdown in the OT triumph. Early in the third quarter, he scored a spectacular 52-yard touchdown off a bomb from Jared Goff. But during practice on Wednesday, the wideout was labeled by the Lions as a limited participant.

According to a report from Myles Simmons of NBC’s Pro Football Talk, the receiver was the lone player listed as limited for the first practice of the week. Nevertheless, there is still cause for optimism for Lions supporters, as the organization has not disclosed if Jameson Williams’ ankle injury would prevent him from playing.

In addition to Williams, offensive tackle Panai Sewell missed Lions practice because of an ankle issue, though he made it clear that he skipped it as a precaution. Defensive lineman Marcus Davenport (groin) and two safeties Ifeatu Melifonwu (ankle) and Kerby Joseph (hamstring) were among the other Lions players who did not participate in Wednesday’s practice.

Williams may have suffered an ankle injury on the opening play, but he yet put on a standout effort to end the game. But once the adrenaline wore off, the wideout’s ankle probably started to pain, so he cut down on his practice time.

The Lions will attempt to relieve some of the pressure on their third-year wide out as they get ready to play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2 of the NFL season. After such an exciting debut, the organization really shouldn’t want to take a chance on more injuries to their talented receiver.

Campbell stated, via ESPN.com’s Eric Woodyard, “He showed up.” Being able to snag some of these and make it through the game was quite an accomplishment. The nicest thing about it was that he didn’t even use his finest ball. Even if there is still a lot of work to be done, it also demonstrates the effort he has made, how much he is growing as a player, how much he wants it, and how much he keeps working on it. And he just–he keeps taking these steps.”

This is good news because in his first two seasons, Williams had to cope with an ACL injury and a gambling suspension. Hopefully, his injury is not too significant and he will be able to participate in Week 2.
