Jamaal Williams (illness) sits out Lions practice Wednesday
Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams (illness) did not practice on Wednesday.
What It Means:
Williams' absence isn't due to an injury, so he should be able to get right in time for Sunday's Week 11 matchup with the New York Giants. Last week, Williams rushed 16 times for 59 yards and a touchdown while handling more than twice as many touches as D'Andre Swift. He has out-carried Swift 40-8 the last two weeks.
Williams is the RB28 in numberFire's Week 11 rankings and our models project him for 13.9 touches and 60.3 yards on Sunday. The Giants have the No. 17 rush defense in our adjusted team metrics.
