Darious Williams: Everything you need to know

The Rams placed Williams on the reserve/retired list Saturday, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports. Williams spent six of his eight-year NFL career with the Rams, including for each of the last two seasons after playing for the Jaguars from 2022 to 2023. He was a key piece to the Rams' secondary during their Super Bowl LVI run in 2021. The UAB product will end his professional career with 306 total tackles, 77 pass defenses (12 interceptions, including one pick-six), two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries across 104 regular-season games.

Williams (coach's decision) has been ruled out for the Rams' wild-card game versus the Panthers on Saturday, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports. Williams will be a healthy scratch for a third straight week after having served as a rotational corner earlier in the season. Emmanuel Forbes, Cobie Durant and Ahkello Witherspoon will continue to serve as the team's primary cornerbacks during Saturday's matchup.

Williams (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against the Falcons. Williams has worked in a rotational role in the Rams' secondary this season, but he will be a healthy inactive for Monday night's game. Emmanuel Forbes, Cobie Durant and Ahkello Witherspoon will serve as the primary corners for the Rams.
