The Big Picture: Lions head coach Dan Campbell has indicated that the team’s plan for rookie wide receiver Jameson Williams could be different in this week’s game against the Minnesota Vikings. This is significant because it shows that the team is looking to expand Williams’ role and potentially give him more opportunities to make an impact on the field. This could be a crucial development for Williams as he continues to adjust to the NFL and establish himself as a valuable member of the Lions’ offense.
“We just wanted to get him out there,” Campbell told 97.1 The Ticket Tuesday morning during his weekly appearance. “We wanted him to go through a pregame warm-up, be on the sideline, go line up, go fight with somebody a little bit, go run a route, see if you can connect, go block somebody and just be in it.
“Be part of it, pads on, all of that,” Campbell continued. “Moving forward, it’ll be, ‘OK, we’ll get him a little more involved now,’ so we’ll have some things for him. He’ll play more than he did last week, but there again, it’s just, let’s slowly start to implement him into what we’re doing and see how he handles everything.”
