Rookie wide receiver and return man Isaiah Williams is headed for waivers.
The Lions announced today that they have waived Williams, four days after a 36-yard kickoff return against the Packers that was the biggest play he has made thus far in his short NFL career.
Lions coach Dan Campbell has repeatedly said he values Williams’ talents, but he was a victim of a numbers game on a Lions team that has plenty of players who can make plays in the passing game and return kicks, the two skills that Williams brings to the table.
If Williams is claimed, he could be a solid special teams contributor for his new team. If he goes unclaimed, he will likely end up on the Lions’ practice squad.
