Coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that he was optimistic Williams (hamstring) would be able to play in Week 11 at Chicago, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports. Williams spent the Packers' last game before their bye on the sidelines due to a hamstring issue he picked up in Week 8 at Jacksonville, but there's hope that will be the only game he'll have to miss as he recovers. His name will be one to watch for when Green Bay releases its first official practice report of the week Wednesday.

Coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that he was optimistic Williams (hamstring) would be able to play in Week 11 at Chicago, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports. Williams spent the Packers' last game before their bye on the sidelines due to a hamstring issue he picked up in Week 8 at Jacksonville, but there's hope that will be the only game he'll have to miss as he recovers. His name will be one to watch for when Green Bay releases its first official practice report of the week Wednesday.
Williams (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Lions, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports. Williams sustained a hamstring injury in the Packers' Week 8 win over the Jaguars and was unable to practice throughout the week, making it no surprise that he'll be sidelined Sunday. Expect Green Bay to move Javon Bullard from the slot to safety to start alongside Xavier McKinney in Williams' stead.
Williams missed Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury. Williams sustained a hamstring injury in the first half of the Packers' Week 8 win over the Jaguars and did not return. Wednesday's DNP suggests the rookie safety from Oregon could be in jeopardy of missing Green Bay's Week 9 matchup against the Lions. Williams likely needs to upgrade to at least limited participation Thursday or Friday in order to suit up Sunday.
Williams (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Williams injured his hamstring late in the first half of Sunday's game, and it is severe enough for the rookie fourth-rounder to be sidelined for the rest of the contest. Javon Bullard has shifted over to safety while Keisean Nixon has come in as the slot corner.
Williams (hamstring) is questionable to return to Green Bay's game versus the Jaguars, Rob Demovsky of ESPN reports. Williams suffered a hamstring injury late in the first half of Sunday's matchup. With the 23-year-old currently sidelined, Javon Bullard has shifted over to safety and Keisean Nixon is now serving as the team's slot corner.
Williams recorded nine total tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 24-22 win over the Texans. Williams led the Packers in total tackles once again in Week 7, bringing his season total up to 26 tackles. The 2024 fourth-round pick hasn't looked back since earning his first start in Week 5's win over the Rams, playing 100-percent of the Packers' defensive snaps in two of his last three games. Expect Williams to continue starting alongside Xavier McKinney in what now appears to be one of the best safety duos in the NFL.
Williams recorded 10 total tackles (four solo) and defended two passes in the Packers' 24-19 win over the Rams. The 2024 fourth-round pick made the first start of his young NFL career Sunday, as Green Bay shifted Keisean Nixon to outside corner and moved Javon Bullard to nickel in the absence of Jaire Alexander (groin). Williams took full advantage of his increased opportunities in Week 5, leading the Packers' defense in total tackles and tying Xavier McKinney for the lead in passes defended. Don't be surprised if Williams sees more work with the Packers' first-team defense moving forward, regardless of the injuries Green Bay's defense is dealing with.
