Lions waive rookie wide receiver in surprising move

USA Today

In an unexpected move after Thursday’s practice session ahead of Week 10, the Detroit Lions announced they have waived rookie wide receiver Isaiah Williams.

Williams made the team as an undrafted free agent from Illinois and had seen brief action in two games on offense and special teams, including a nice kick return in the Week 9 win in Green Bay. He had been a healthy scratch several times. He had impressed throughout training camp and preseason as a slot weapon and return specialist.

The waiver of Williams comes without a corollary roster move, which makes it more of a surprise.
