Former Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams is trying to rejoin the team and contacts head coach Dan Campbell, according to reports from Yahoo Sports and the New York Post. The outlets describe Williams as seeking another opportunity after time away from the NFL.
Both sources frame the move as part of a comeback attempt. Yahoo Sports notes that Williams is reaching out in an effort to return, while the New York Post specifies that his last NFL appearance was about 21 months earlier. The reports focus primarily on the outreach itself rather than detailing any formal negotiations, roster plan, or decision by the Lions.
No outlet included confirmed details about whether the Lions respond, whether Williams has been invited to pursue a contract, or what his current health or training status is. The story centers on Williams’ request to Campbell and the possibility of a reunion with Detroit.
