Detroit Lions Cut Rookie WR Isaiah Williams

The Detroit Lions have waived rookie wide receiver Isaiah Williams, a decision made as Jameson Williams returns from suspension. Isaiah Williams, who signed as an undrafted free agent from Illinois, appeared in only two games this season, recording two catches for six yards. His limited playing time and previous healthy scratches contributed to his release, despite a strong performance in training camp and a notable kick return against the Packers. The Lions now have one open roster spot, with tight end Shane Zylstra and defensive tackle Brodric Martin as potential candidates to fill it. There is speculation that Isaiah Williams may land on the Lions' practice squad if he clears waivers. This unexpected move comes without an immediate corollary roster adjustment, surprising many observers.
