Roy Williams

11/14/2005

After an abbreviated appearance last week, Williams appeared in the entire game against the Cardinals on Sunday and put up some impressive numbers. After missing a whole month with a quadriceps injury, he returned to full strength by catching seven passes for 117 yards and a career high three touchdowns.

11/13/2005

Williams will be in the starting lineup for the Lions today, opposite Scottie Vines, when the Lions host the Arizona Cardinals.

11/11/2005

Recovering from a strained left quadriceps muscle, Williams took about half of the reps during the Lions' practice on Thursday, and he continues to be listed as probable for Sunday's meeting with the Arizona Cardinals. The receiver, who was limited to just three plays in Week 9, should see more time this weekend, but it's unlikely that he will be ready for his normal workload.

11/10/2005

Williams, who has been battling a strained left quadriceps muscle for more than a month, was in the Lions' lineup for just three plays in last weekend's loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The receiver hopes to see more time in Sunday's matchup with the Arizona Cardinals, and he might even be back in the starting lineup. Officially, he has been listed as probable on this week's injury report.

11/7/2005

Williams was active and in uniform for Sunday's meeting with the Minnesota Vikings, but as expected, he saw limited playing time, and as a result, finished the game without making a catch. The Lions' receiver had missed the team's previous three contests with a strained left quadriceps muscle, and it is obvious he's still not back to 100 percent.

11/6/2005

Williams won't be in the Lions' starting lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Minnesota Vikings, but he will be available for limited action off the bench. The receiver, who has missed the team's last three contests with a strained left quadriceps muscle, practiced Wednesday and Thursday, but was held back on Friday as a precautionary measure.

11/2/2005

Williams practiced with the Detroit Lions on Wednesday and reported no problems with the strained left quadriceps injury that has prevented him from playing in the team's last three games. The receiver said he expects to be available for Sunday's matchup with the Minnesota Vikings. In four games this season, he has 12 catches for 187 yards and a touchdown.

10/30/2005

Although Williams practiced throughout the week at 75 percent, Lions head coach Steve Mariucci will keep the receiver on the inactive list. Williams is battling a strained left quadriceps and has been out for nearly two weeks.

10/27/2005

Williams was able to return to practice with the Detroit Lions on Wednesday, but the receiver was working out at about 75 percent. According to head coach Steve Mariucci, the receiver will not be in the starting lineup this weekend against the Chicago Bears unless he's able to practice at full speed by Friday. Williams has been sidelined for nearly two weeks with a strained left quadriceps and currently is listed as questionable on the Lions' injury report.

10/26/2005

After missing nearly two weeks with a strained left quadriceps, Williams returned to action on Wednesday, practicing in pads with the Detroit Lions. As long as no problems are reported over the next couple of days, the receiver should be in the starting lineup for Sunday's meeting with the Chicago Bears. In four games this season, he has 12 catches for 187 yards and a touchdown.

10/23/2005

Williams has been ruled out of Sunday's Week 7 matchup with the Browns. The second-year wideout was unable to play last Sunday against the Panthers due to a strained left quadriceps muscle, and he did not practice at full speed during the past week.

10/20/2005

Williams reported improvement in his strained left quadriceps muscle earlier this week, but it is likely that he will be forced to miss his second consecutive game. The Lions' receiver has been limited to light jogging over the past couple of days, and barring a miraculous recovery, he'll be held out yet again. Officially, Williams has been listed as questionable on the injury report.

10/18/2005

Williams did not practice with the Lions last week and missed Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers, due to a strained left quadriceps muscle, but he has reported improvement in the leg over the last couple of days. The receiver will continue to receive treatment in hopes of testing things out later this week. He's considered as questionable for this weekend's matchup with the Cleveland Browns.

10/16/2005

Williams is out for Detroit's Sunday matchup against Carolina. He has been battling a stained left quadriceps. Williams and Charles Rogers (suspension) are out. Rookie Mike Williams and Kevin Johnson will be the starting wide receivers.

10/14/2005

Williams missed another practice on Friday, and Lions officials say that it's more and more likely that the second-year receiver will sit out this Sunday's game against the Panthers. Lions coach Steve Mariucci stated that he would like to see Williams practice before he gave him any game action.

10/13/2005

Williams continues to be sidelined by a strained left quadriceps, and he was unable to practice with the Detroit Lions on Wednesday. The receiver, who suffered the injury last weekend, currently is listed as questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Carolina Panthers.

10/10/2005

Williams will be re-evaluated on Monday to determine the extent of the strained left quadriceps he suffered in Sunday's victory over the Baltimore Ravens. According to head coach Steve Mariucci, the receiver currently is questionable for next weekend's meeting with the Carolina Panthers. In four games this season, Williams has 12 catches for 187 yards and one touchdown.
