ALLEN PARK -- Lions receiver Jameson Williams continues to practice with the team while mulling whether to appeal his reported two-game suspension. Detroit anticipates being without Williams against Tennessee on Sunday, but the speedster is allowed to practice until his appeal window closes later this week.

Williams usually speaks to reporters after practice on Thursday, although it remains unclear whether he’ll speak amid the suspension process.

The Lions also got back offensive linemen Frank Ragnow, Taylor Decker and Graham Glasgow, all of whom got rest days on Wednesday. But the news wasn’t so good on the other side of the trench, where Josh Paschal missed a second straight day of work due to illness.

Paschal is the top edge rusher left on the 53-man roster after Aidan Hutchinson, Marcus Davenport and John Cominsky were all lost to long-term injuries. Paschal started his second game of the season last weekend in Minnesota, and accounted for the only sack from the defensive front. He had four tackles overall.
