Bengals claim Isaiah Williams off waivers from the Lions

Isaiah Williams is a Lion no more. The rookie wideout was claimed off waivers by the Cincinnati Bengals on Friday, a day after Detroit waived him in a bit of a surprising move.

All players who are waived or released after the NFL trade deadline, which was Tuesday, are subject to waiver claims. The Bengals snatched up Williams after their 35-34 heartbreaking loss to Baltimore on Thursday night.

An undrafted rookie from Illinois, Williams earned a spot as the Lions’ backup slot receiver with a strong training camp and preseason. He played sparingly over the first nine weeks, catching two passes for six yards with Detroit.
