Williams missed his first game of the season last week against Buffalo but has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in time to face San Francisco on Sunday. The third-year defensive tackle has filled a rotational role for the Eagles this season, tallying 25 tackles (13 solo), including a half-sack, over 10 contests.
Williams suffered a head injury during last Monday's win against the Chiefs and remains in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. The 24-year-old has been a key rotational piece for the Eagles' defense this season, so his absence will be felt. Moro Ojomo could be called upon for the first time since Week 6 to take some of Williams' snaps.
Williams briefly exited the contest with a shoulder injury, but he has now quickly returned. He'll be back in his reserve role on Philadelphia's defensive line.
Williams suffered a shoulder injury in the first half and his return is now uncertain. In his absence, Kentavius Street will likely take on an increased workload at defensive tackle.
