Allen Park — The Detroit Lions are starting to get some of their players dealing with long-term injuries back to practice this week as cornerback Jerry Jacobs (ACL) and rookie defensive lineman Josh Paschal (sports hernia) were on the field for the first time on Wednesday. But the timetable for first-round draft pick Jameson Williams remains unclear.
The good news is the speedy receiver is making continued, positive progress in his recovery from an ACL tear, suffered in January, but the Lions don't expect him to start practicing immediately after next week's bye as some had hoped when estimating the recovery timeline.
