Lions place Williams on COVID-19 list

The Detroit Lions placed running back Jamaal Williams on the COVID-19 list, the team announced Friday.

Detroit is already without starting running back D'Andre Swift due to a shoulder injury.

Jermar Jefferson and Godwin Igwebuike are likely to fill in for the injured backs Sunday against the Denver Broncos.

Williams rushed for 71 yards on 17 carries against the Minnesota Vikings on Dec. 5, averaging 4.2 yards per carry.
