Dan Campbell weighs in on Jameson Williams’ first game back with Detroit Lions
Sometimes the most anticipated returns don’t go as smoothly as fans hope. Jameson Williams, who made his long-awaited comeback from suspension, experienced just that in his first game back with the Detroit Lions. His performance left much to be desired by many fans and experts, but head coach Dan Campbell is satisfied with what he saw from Jamo.
What did Jameson Williams do?
Jameson Williams’ return to the field was met with a mix of excitement and uncertainty. The wide receiver had shown immense promise but had also struggled with dropped passes during his time in Allen Park. Unfortunately, those drop issues resurfaced in his comeback game. On the very first pass thrown his way, Williams had a clear opportunity but couldn’t secure the catch, missing out on significant yardage.
Throughout the game, he managed to make two catches, but they were both behind the line of scrimmage, resulting in minimal yardage gains. The final stat line for Williams read: two catches for 2 yards on three targets.
What did Dan Campbell say about Jameson Williams?
Following the game, Campbell remained optimistic despite the challenges Williams faced in his comeback game. Campbell acknowledged the importance of easing him back into the game and expressed his intent to gradually increase Williams’ involvement in future games.
“Look, for me, I came into this game — I think I said this — this is his first one back, and really last week was his first practice since he was out of the building, so man, I just wanted to get him back on the grass,” Campbell said. “Get him lined up, get him some runs, we gave him a couple opportunities in the pass game and now we just grow from there. So this is all I expected. Let’s just get him acclimated back in, and he’ll get a few more plays next week and we’ll just continue to let him grow.”
