CINCINNATI — The Bengals claimed wide receiver Isaiah Williams on Friday afternoon.

The rookie signed with the Lions as an undrafted free agent in May. He has two receptions for six yards in two games this season and one kick return for 36 yards.

Williams was a preseason standout for Detroit, leading the team with 11 catches for 123 yards. He also had six punt returns for 71 yards in three preseason games.

The undrafted rookie could give the Bengals' return game a boost and might be able to help them in the slot. Williams doesn't have great size or speed, but he's quick and explosive, which is ideal in the slot.
