Jameson Williams returns to practice with Detroit Lions today

Jameson Williams NFL debut drawing nearer by the week

The Detroit Lions organization seems to be headed in the right direction for the first time in a long time as they are riding high on a three-game win streak. Fortunately, that’s not the only great news coming out of Detroit as their 2022 first-round pick, [autotag]Jameson Williams[/autotag], practiced for the first time today.

The former Alabama Crimson Tide speedster has missed the entire season thus far after suffering a torn ACL in his final collegiate game back in January.

While it is still unknown when he will make his NFL debut, getting Williams back into the swing of things is massive for this team as they are second in the division and not completely out of the playoff race yet.

Williams has game-changing speed that the Lions’ offense desperately needs, however, they have been wise not to rush his return. Adding a key piece like Williams at a time when morale is already soaring may be enough to sneak the Lions into a wild card spot!

Detroit Lions HC gives injury update on Jameson Williams

Jameson Williams a few weeks away from NFL debut

The Detroit Lions knew they were making a long-term investment when they selected [autotag]Jameson Williams[/autotag] with the first-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft. Williams was the No. 12 pick overall, however, after suffering a torn ACL in the 2021 national championship, it was expected that Williams wouldn’t see much action in 2022.

Lions head coach, Dan Campbell, gave an update on the former Crimson Tide speedster today at his press conference. When asked for a date of return Campbell said, “I would say probably after Thanksgiving sometime, I think tentatively that’s what we are looking at, I don’t know if that would be the Jacksonville week or the week after. But he is close. He’s progressing, there are no setbacks.”

The Lions have struggled mightily this year, but they have been competitive in nearly ever game. The speedy receiver may be the difference that this Lions team needs to get into NFC North contention again.

Notre Dame Football: Three-Star Ramon Henderson Rounds Out Class for Irish

Braden Lenzy’s fastest time ever recorded in the 100 meter dash is 10.82 seconds.  Not at all shabby and quick enough to make him the fastest man almost anytime he steps onto a football field.

That is unless Henderson is there, as Henderson has gone 10.59 seconds in the 100 before.

Notre Dame entered Wednesday’s first National Signing Day knowing they’d likely have at least 17 high school seniors sign their National Letters of Intent and become the newest members of the Fighting Irish football team.

There was some optimism that number could grow slightly higher and it eventually did as early Wednesday afternoon Ramon Henderson signed his NLI and became the final player in Notre Dame’s 2020 recruiting class to sign.

Henderson is listed as an athlete in most places but figures to fit into Notre Dame’s mix in the defensive backfield.

The Liberty High School product from Bakersfield, California chose Notre Dame over Utah and Oklahoma who were both in pursuit of his services.

Henderson is listed at 6-2 and 183 pounds and is blessed with truly elite speed.

How fast are we talking?

That is unless Henderson is there, as Henderson has gone 10.59 seconds in the 100 before.

Henderson was ranked as the 23rd best player in California by Rivals.
