WR Tyrell Williams Waived With Injury Settlement

On Friday, the Detroit Lions waived wideout Tyrell Williams from injured reserve with an injury settlement. 

Williams suffered a head injury in the season opener against the San Francisco 49ers at Ford Field. 

"That doesn’t look good right now," Campbell said on 97.1 The Ticket prior the Bengals game. "I would say that’s off in the distance for sure."

Williams was expected to be the Lions' top receiver when he signed a one-year contract agreement this spring.

He unfortunately only recorded 39 snaps with the Lions and secured two receptions for 14 yards. 

The veteran wideout had been on the injured reserve list since September 23. 

Since Williams and Quintez Cephus have been absent, Detroit's offense has relied upon Trinity Benson, KhaDarel Hodge and Kalif Raymond to shoulder the load, along with rookie Amon-Ra St. Brown. 

Unfortunately, Detroit's offense has not been able to utilize their wideouts on a consistent basis. 

Head coach Dan Campbell even noted quarterback Jared Goff targeted T.J. Hockenson quite often following the loss to the Eagles. 

If general manager Brad Holmes wants to bring in wideout Odell Beckham Jr., the team has until Monday afternoon to place a waiver claim.
