St. Brown is only likely to miss a few days of practice with his ankle injury, while Williams – who will begin serving a six-game suspension in Week 1 – is expected to miss the rest of the preseason with a hamstring injury.
Getting onto the field has proven to be a tall task for Williams since being taken 12th overall in 2022, and he’ll be unable to rehab his injury with the team while he is suspended to open 2023.
Meanwhile, St. Brown’s injury is less serious and shouldn’t worry fantasy managers at all at this point. Barring any serious setbacks, St. Brown should hit the practice field once again in about a week and be cleared with plenty of time to spare for the Lions’ season opener on Thursday night against the Chiefs.
