The Bengals claimed Williams off waivers Friday.
Williams, an undrafted rookie from Illinois, appeared in two games with the Lions before being waived Thursday, catching two of his three targets for six yards across just eight offensive snaps. He'll likely serve as a depth piece in Cincinnati's wide receiver room as the season progresses.

Lions' Isaiah Williams: Questionable to play Week 3
Rotowire
Williams (abdomen) has been deemed questionable to play Sunday versus the Cardinals.
Williams didn't play Week 2 against the Buccaneers due to an abdominal issue, and the injury kept him limited in all three of the Lions' practices this week. As such, he seems to be a true question mark for Sunday's clash with the Cardinals. Even if Williams is cleared to play Week 3, he isn't likely to see much, if any, work on offense because he's at the bottom of Detroit's wideout depth chart.

It appears Williams is still nursing the abdomen injury that held him out of the Lions' Week 2 loss to the Buccaneers. The rookie from Illinois' NFL debut could be put on hold again if he's not past this abdomen issue by Sunday. His practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide a better indication of his availability for Week 3.
