The Lions will apparently be without receiver Jameson Williams for the next two games. There are reports that he’ll be suspended by the league for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing substances policy. There’s no word as to what the specific infraction involved.
Detroit running back David Montgomery should be good to go for Sunday’s game against the Titans. He limped off the field last Sunday, after suffering a bruise near his knee. He returned a series later, but struggled the rest of the day.
