Here is Detroit Lions' contingency plan with Tyrell Williams, Kevin Strong out

Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell said receiver Tyrell Williams and defensive tackle Kevin Strong won’t play in Monday night’s game against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.

Both players suffered concussions in Sunday’s loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

Williams is considered the Lions’ No. 1 receiver and best deep threat in the passing game. Trinity Benson, Quintez Cephus and Amon-Ra St. Brown likely would be the best backup options for deep passes against the Packers.

Rookie defensive tackle Levi Onwuzurike, a second-round pick who was inactive against the 49ers with hip and back injuries, has practiced all week and could help fill the void by Strong’s absence.
