Evan Williams: Everything you need to know

Williams recorded 100 tackles (48 solo), five pass defenses (three interceptions) and one fumble recovery across 16 regular-season games for the Packers in 2025. The 2024 fourth-rounder served in a rotational role in the Packers' secondary during his rookie season, but he was thrust into the starting job at safety alongside Xavier McKinney in 2025. Williams responded by reaching the tackling century mark for the first time in his career, posting at least seven stops in eight of 16 games. He figures to be a key piece in the Packers' defense for the foreseeable future.

Williams (knee) is active for Saturday night's game against the Ravens, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports. Williams was limited in practice throughout the week, but the starting strong safety is officially suiting up for Saturday night. Williams return to the Packers' defense means Nate Hobbs will likely see a diminished role in the secondary for Week 17.

Williams (knee) is questionable to play Saturday versus Baltimore, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official website reports. Williams was a limited participant at each of the team's practices throughout the week, but his status is still uncertain for Week 17. The safety missed the team's Week 16 loss to the Bears due to a knee injury, and he'll look to make his return to action Saturday against the Ravens.
