Williams suffered a sprained posterior cruciate ligament in the knee during a 42-10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on December 2. Williams had hoped to return in the Lions' regular-season finale at Green Bay but with the team eliminated from the playoff race, Detroit decided to err on the side of caution and shut down the former first-round pick for the season. Williams finished with 63 receptions for 836 yards and five touchdowns in 12 games this season. To replace Williams on the roster, the Lions promoted rookie linebacker Buster Davis from the practice squad. The Lions also signed defensive end Claude Harriott to the practice squad.
