James Williams: Breaking News

Williams suffered an AC joint injury in his right shoulder during Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports. Williams was seen wearing a sling Monday after the Titans' season finale versus Jacksonville. The severity of his injury is unclear. The 22-year-old played in 16 games of the 2025 season, accounting for 26 tackles (22 solo).

Williams tallied nine tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Tennessee's win over the Chiefs on Sunday. Williams benefited from increased playing time with Cedric Gray out with a concussion and turned in his best performance of the campaign, leading the team in tackles in addition to recording his first sack. The 22-year-old should get another start at linebacker should Gray remain sidelined for the Week 17 matchup versus the Saints.

Williams (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports. Williams popped up on Saturday's injury report due to an illness, but the 2024 seventh-rounder has been cleared to play in Sunday's AFC South tilt. He has logged four solo tackles across 10 regular-season games while serving exclusively on special teams.
