Williams (hamstring) was left off Kansas City's injury report Monday ahead of Thursday night's regular-season opener against Baltimore, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports. Williams has been dealing with a hamstring issue since mid-August, but it now appears he's fully recovered after being left off the Chiefs' injury report Monday. With the departure of L'Jarius Sneed this past offseason, Williams is projected to play a bigger role in Kansas City's secondary in 2024, starting opposite All-Pro Trent McDuffie.

Williams (hamstring) was left off Kansas City's injury report Monday ahead of Thursday night's regular-season opener against Baltimore, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports. Williams has been dealing with a hamstring issue since mid-August, but it now appears he's fully recovered after being left off the Chiefs' injury report Monday. With the departure of L'Jarius Sneed this past offseason, Williams is projected to play a bigger role in Kansas City's secondary in 2024, starting opposite All-Pro Trent McDuffie.
Williams did not participate in Tuesday's practice due to a hamstring injury, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports. Williams played 21 snaps (13 on defense, eight on special teams) and recorded one tackle in Saturday's preseason game against Detroit. With Kansas City playing against Chicago on Thursday, it's unlikely that the 2022 fourth-round pick will suit up for the preseason finale. Williams is slated to serve as the second starting cornerback opposite Trent McDuffie.
