The Detroit Lions announced they have waived WR Tyrell Williams from injured reserve with an injury settlement.
Williams was one of the first unrestricted free agent signings of Brad Holmes’ tenure as Lions general manager. With the Lions turning over their wide receiver room, and Williams’ connection to offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn (they played/coached together with the Chargers), he was brought in with expectations of contributing from a starting role.
Throughout training camp, Williams looked like a capable starting receiver, though leaning on him to play as WR1 was a big ask.
