Lions activate Jamaal Williams from COVID list
Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams has been activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list.
What It Means:
Williams practiced on Wednesday and is on track to play Week 16 against the Atlanta Falcons. D'Andre Swift (shoulder) also returned to practice on Wednesday for the first time since November, so the Lions may have both backs available for Sunday's visit to Atlanta. Craig Reynolds filled in as Detroit's workhorse the last two weeks.
numberFire's models project Williams for 8.6 touches versus a Falcons defense that is ranked 24th in FanDuel points allowed per game to the running back position this season. Swift is projected to lead the way with 18.0 touches.
