ALLEN PARK The Detroit Lions released running back Jonathan Williams to make room for the returning Everson Griffen.
Williams appeared in five games for the Lions, catching four passes and losing a fumble on his lone rush attempt. Griffen has missed the previous two games on the league’s COVID reserve list. Teams are granted a roster exemption when players land on the list, the spot occupied by Williams.
