Lions' Nick Williams: Won't play Sunday
Williams (shoulder) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against Washington.
Williams was unable to practice two of the three sessions this week with the shoulder issue, so this news isn't quite surprising. The starting defensive tackle has played at least 50 percent of snaps in the past four games, so his absence will hurt the defensive front. With Williams sidelined, look for an uptick in snaps for Frank Herron and John Penisini on the interior of the defensive line Sunday.

Lions' Nick Williams: Questionable for Week 10
Williams (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Washington, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Williams battled a shoulder injury in the early stages of the season, and it's not clear if this shoulder injury is related to that one. Either way, the starting defensive tackle will hope to play through it come Sunday. If Williams is unable to do so, John Penisini should see extra snaps on the interior of Detroit's defensive line.
