Jameson Williams injury update: Latest news on Lions WR’s Week 2 status

The Detroit Lions released their first injury report of the week ahead of their Week 2 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and wide receiver Jameson Williams was on it.

Williams had a breakout game against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1, with the third-year wideout tallying five catches for a career-high 121 yards and one touchdown. He also added one carry for 13 yards.

“He showed up,” head coach Dan Campbell said of Williams, according to The Detroit News’ Nolan Bianchi. “That was a big game…and the best part of it, he didn’t even play his best ball. … But it also shows the work that he’s put in. … He keeps taking these steps.”

Following Williams’ breakout performance, we didn’t hear anything about an injury, but clearly he’s dealing with something on Wednesday.

According to the team’s injury report, Williams was listed as limited on Wednesday due to an ankle injury. This officially puts his status up in the air for Week 2.

However, there really shouldn’t be much concern right now. It’s still early in the week and chances are this is more about maintenance than anything else after Williams played the second-most snaps of his young career in Week 1.

The Buccaneers have a solid defense that surrendered the fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in Week 1. However, they were also facing a rookie quarterback in Washington Commanders signal-caller, Jayden Daniels.

After posting 24.4 fantasy points and ranking as WR5 overall in the season-opener, Williams is absolutely someone who should be in your lineup in Week 2. For now, temper expectations as a flex option, but Williams definitely has the kind of upside that could make him a locked-in WR2 moving forward.
