Commanders' Antonio Williams: Doesn't suit up Friday
Rotowire
Williams didn't play in Friday's preseason loss to the Ravens.
The third-round rookie out of Clemson has been coming on strong as training camp has progressed, and per Donna Hopkins of MASN, Williams opened some eyes in joint practices against Baltimore earlier in the week when he beat Kyle Hamilton in one-on-one drills. The fact that Williams was held out Friday along with the rest of the Commanders' key personnel could be a strong sign that he's won the No. 3 receiver job to begin the season over the likes of Luke McCaffrey, Dyami Brown and Jaylin Lane, but he still faces an uphill battle for targets working behind Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs.

Commanders' Antonio Williams: Three catches Saturday
Rotowire
Williams caught all three of his targets for 41 yards in Saturday's 17-13 preseason loss to the Lions.
Williams matched Jacoby Jones for the most Commanders receptions, exceeding Jones' total production by four yards. Due to the offseason addition of Stefon Diggs, the third-round rookie is currently set to be the No. 4 option behind Terry McLaurin, Diggs and Luke McCaffrey. If Williams can keep logging productive performances in preseason and practice, the Commanders will likely find ways to keep the young talent on the field once the regular season commences.
