Tough decision at WR: The Lions have decisions to make for the last couple spots at wide receiver and there are a group of players that have made that decision tough.
Among them is undrafted rookie Isaiah Williams, who had a steady training camp and a really good preseason. He’s not the biggest or fastest receiver, but he has a feel for route running and making plays in space, and it wouldn’t be surprising if he’s on the initial 53-man roster. He had a 17-yard reception Saturday, a 37-yard kick return and three punt returns totaling 30 yards.
“He’s a dawg,” Hooker said of Williams after the game. “Made some amazing plays in special teams, made some amazing catches, and his attitude, he’s a dawg. Him coming out on the field and telling me, ‘Let’s go Hen, let’s make some plays,’ that boosted me up a little bit, so it’s a blessing to have him around in the huddle and the locker room.”
Roster spots: Campbell lamented after the game about the difficult decisions he and GM Brad Holmes have to make in the next 48 hours, trimming the roster down to an initial 53. But Campbell was also quick to point out the importance of the practice squad and how during the course of an 18-week season, it’s really 69 spots and not just 53 that will be counted on.
