Detroit Lions activate Nick Williams from Reserve/COVID, waive TE Hunter Thedford

After 12 days spent on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Detroit Lions defensive tackle Nick Williams has been activated and is eligible to practice again.

Williams looked impressive in the first week of training camp, and he has been hailed as a leader in the defensive line position group. Obviously, this was derailed by contracting COVID, but the veteran defensive tackle noted on Twitter that he was feeling okay.

“I feel fine just had cold chills one night and have a slight headache. Other than that I’m doing good,” Williams tweeted on August 7.
