The Eagles activated Williams (shoulder) from injured reserve Thursday. Thursday was the Eagles' last day to activate Williams from injured reserve. The rookie sixth-rounder will now be available for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Commanders and for the Eagles' postseason run, when he will serve in a reserve role on the offensive line.
The Eagles did not activate Williams (shoulder) from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Bills. Williams has been on IR since Sept. 13 with a shoulder injury, and he was designated to return to practice Dec. 11. The offensive tackle will have to be activated by the start of the new year, or he will not be able to return for the rest of the season, including the Eagles' upcoming postseason run.
The Eagles opened the practice window for Williams (shoulder) to return from injured reserve Thursday. The 21-day practice window to return from IR has now been opened, and Williams will have three weeks to rejoin the active roster before he would be forced to remain on IR for the rest of the season. The tackle's return would net a strong reserve presence for an Eagles team that has dealt with constant injury to offensive linemen this season.
