Why injured Detroit Lions WR Jameson Williams traveled to Indy and Levi Onwuzurike didn't

WESTFIELD, Ind. — Jameson Williams is still a few months from playing in his first NFL game, but the Detroit Lions brought their injured receiver to Indianapolis this week to experience Sunday's road preseason game and joint practices against the Colts.

Lions coach Dan Campbell said that decision allows the team to be "a little more hands-on" with Williams as he recovers from a torn ACL suffered in January.

"It keeps him engaged in the football, in the meetings, we get a little more hands-on with the rehab, and then he gets to stay engaged in this environment," Campbell said.
