The Detroit Lions are back in the playoff mix after three straight victories, and help for the stretch run is on its way.
The Lions started rookie receiver Jameson Williams' three-week practice window Monday in hopes of getting him on the field in early December.
Williams, the No. 12 pick of April's draft, tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in Alabama’s national championship game loss to Georgia on Jan. 10.
The Lions traded up to take Williams knowing he would miss most of this season. He opened training camp on the nonfootball injury list and has kept most of his rehab out of the public eye.
