Campbell said that the veteran receiver is dealing with a shoulder injury, but it\u2019s considered minor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u201cHe\u2019s got a little shoulder (injury), he\u2019s good to go, though,\u201d Campbell said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Campbell said he didn\u2019t expect Williams to practice on Monday night, and he didn\u2019t give a timeline for his return. Still, it doesn\u2019t seem very serious.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">During Sunday\u2019s practice, the Lions used Williams\u2019 absence to give extra opportunities to veteran Tom Kennedy and former UFL receiver Tay Martin with the first-team offense.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Detroit was also missing cornerback Nick Whiteside on Sunday and he, too, is not expected to practice with a minor hamstring injury.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u201cWhiteside\u2019s got a soft tissue (injury), a hammy. He\u2019ll be alright, though, I think. I don\u2019t think anything\u2014these aren\u2019t serious,\u201d Campbell said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Whiteside has had an excellent training camp and has worked his way into the CB3 conversation behind starters Rock Ya-Sin and D.J. Reed. His absence will lead to more opportunities for Ennis Rakestraw and Khalil Dorsey.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">We\u2019ll have a full injury report after Monday\u2019s practice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prior to their evening practice on Monday night, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell offered a couple of critically&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":817213,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[264323,4992,349,99],"class_list":["post-817212","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-detroit-lions-injuries","tag-detroit-lions-news","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/817212","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=817212"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/817212\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/817213"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=817212"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=817212"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=817212"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
