Mike Williams

11/11/2005

At this point, it is highly unlikely that Williams will be available for Sunday's matchup with the Arizona Cardinals, even though he remains listed as questionable on the Lions' injury report. The rookie receiver has been sporting a protective walking boot all week after suffering a mid-foot sprain in last weekend's loss to the Minnesota Vikings, according to head coach Steve Mariucci. Williams also has been nursing a sore knee recently.

11/7/2005

Already nursing a minor knee injury that he suffered in practice last week, Williams sprained in ankle during Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings, but was able to play through both ailments, finishing with four catches for 43 yards. The Lions' rookie receiver likely will be limited in practice this week, but he hopes to avoid missing any game action. His status will be updated in the coming days.

11/6/2005

Williams suffered a minor knee injury in practice earlier this week, but he will be in the Lions' starting lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Minnesota Vikings. Scottie Vines also will get the nod this weekend, with regular No. 1 wideout Roy Williams seeing limited duty in a backup role.

11/4/2005

The knee injury Williams suffered during the Lions' workout on Wednesday is not considered serious, and the rookie receiver was back on the field with the team on Thursday. He should be available for Sunday's matchup with the Minnesota Vikings, but remains listed as questionable on Detroit's injury report. In seven games this season, Williams has 15 catches for 181 yards and a touchdown.

11/3/2005

Reportedly, Williams was forced to leave the Lions' practice on Wednesday after injuring his knee. The rookie receiver, who was the 10th overall pick in this year's draft, will be re-evaluated over the next couple of days to determine the extent of the ailment. In the meantime, he has been listed as questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Minnesota Vikings.

10/30/2005

With fellow receiver Roy Williams still out with an injury, rookie Mike Williams will once again be the go-to guy for quarterback Jeff Garcia. Williams caught five passes for 95 yards in last week's win over the Browns.

10/5/2005

With Charles Rogers out of action for the next four games while serving a league-imposed suspension, Williams will step into the Lions' starting lineup, opposite Roy Williams. The rookie receiver, who was the 10th overall pick in this year's draft, has just four catches for 25 yards and one touchdown in three games this season.

8/1/2005

Williams came to terms with the Lions on Monday on a five-year deal worth $13.5 million, with $10.5 million of that sum guaranteed. Detroit rookies were supposed to report to training camp on July 24, though veterans did not need to begin until last Thursday. Detroit selected Williams with the 10th overall pick in the 2005 draft, despite the fact that the former USC wideout was forced to sit out last year after he was ruled ineligible to participate in the 2004 draft.
