Reaches 100 stops in 2025
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.
Analysis: 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.

Active for Saturday night
Williams (knee) is active for Saturday night's game against the Ravens, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: 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.

Questionable for Saturday night
Williams (knee) is questionable to play Saturday versus Baltimore, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official website reports.
Analysis: 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.

Still limited in practice Wednesday
Williams (knee) was limited in practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Williams is trying return from the knee injury he suffered Week 15 against Denver. He was unable to play last Saturday versus the Bears and didn't practice at all last week, but he's been labeled as limited both Tuesday and Wednesday this week. It seems Williams has a chance of playing Saturday versus Baltimore, but more clarity in that regard should come when the Packers provide injury designations Thursday.

Estimated as limited Tuesday
Williams (knee) was deemed a limited participant in Tuesday's practice walkthrough, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Williams sprained the MCL in his knee against Denver in Week 15 and missed this past Saturday's overtime loss against Chicago. He didn't practice at all last week, so his listing as DNP to begin Week 17 prep is a positive sign. Williams intends to take part in individual drills Wednesday, and when asked about his injury Tuesday, he stated, "Taking it slow but definitely optimistic," per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic.

Inactive for Saturday
Williams (knee) is listed as inactive for Saturday night's game against the Bears, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Williams was unable to log a practice this week, falling short of the participation likely required for the safety to suit up. In his stead, Zayne Anderson will likely start at strong safety. Anderson took over after Williams' early exit in Week 15, logging three tackles (one solo) through 20 defensive snaps.

Questionable for Saturday
Williams (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Bears, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Williams was unable to log a practice this week but may still be able to suit up for Saturday's divisional contest. If the Bears win, the NFC North is all but out of reach for the Packers, which could certainly serve as additional impetus for him to suit up. If Williams is unable to play, Zayne Anderson will likely start at strong safety across from Xavier McKinney.

Misses another practice
Williams (knee) did not practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Williams has now missed back-to-back practices since being forced out of Sunday's loss to the Broncos early due to a knee injury. He'll have one more opportunity to get back on the practice field in advance of Saturday's divisional matchup against Chicago. Zayne Anderson will be the favorite to start across from Xavier McKinney if Williams can't play Week 16.

Starts week as DNP
Williams (knee) was estimated as a non-participant for the Packers' walkthrough practice Tuesday.
Analysis: Williams left Sunday's game at Denver early after suffering a knee injury in the second half, and now his availability for Week 16 is in doubt. He'll likely have to participate at practice Wednesday or Thursday to give himself any chance of suiting up Saturday at Chicago.

Dealing with knee injury
Williams (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against Denver, Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com reports.
Analysis: Williams is dealing with an apparent knee injury late in the second half, and his status for the rest of the game is now up in the air. In his absence, Zayne Anderson is a top candidate to see an increase in workload at safety.

He played a season-low 77 percent of defensive snaps versus the Steelers, perhaps due to the back issue that limited his practice reps to open Week 8, though Williams wasn't officially assigned an injury designation heading into Sunday's win.

Good to go against Pittsburgh

Limited due to back injury
Williams (back) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Williams logged eight tackles in this past Sunday's win over Arizona but appears to have hurt his back in the process. His ability to practice in limited fashion to begin the week suggests the injury isn't major, but Williams may need to upgrade to full participation before the end of the week to avoid getting tagged with an injury status ahead of Sunday's matchup versus Pittsburgh.

Analysis: Williams played 80 snaps (69 on defense, 11 on special teams) in Thursday's win, which was second most behind Xavier McKinney (81).

Starts six games as rookie
Williams finished the 2024 season with 49 tackles (31 solo), three pass breakups, including one interception, and one forced fumble across 13 regular-season contests.
Analysis: Selected in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, Williams started six games as a rookie and played 100 percent of the defensive snaps in Green Bay's wild-card playoff loss to the Eagles after missing the final three games of the regular season with a quadriceps injury. Williams should be viewed as the favorite to start alongside first-team All-Pro Xavier McKinney at safety in 2025.

Will play in wild-card round
Williams (quadriceps) is active for Sunday's NFC wild-card game against the Eagles, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Analysis: Williams suffered a quadriceps injury in Week 15 against the Seahawks, which was severe enough for him to not play or practice over the final three weeks of the regular season. He managed to return to practice Wednesday and was a limited participant in all three sessions this past week, and he's done enough to be cleared to play Sunday.

Williams (quadriceps) was a limited participant during practice Wednesday, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Williams has been logging DNPs during practice and hasn't suited up since Week 15. His ability to start the week on the field, even in a limited capacity, should signal he's headed in the right direction. However, he may need to log a full practice on either Thursday or Friday to increase his likelihood of suiting up in Sunday's wild-card game against the Eagles.

With Zayne Anderson (concussion) and Javon Bullard (ankle) also working through injuries, Kitan Oladapo could start at safety alongside Xavier McKinney in Week 18.

Analysis: Head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters Monday that Williams was unlikely to play for the remainder of the regular season after sustaining a quadriceps injury in practice, so it's no surprise he's been ruled out for Sunday's divisional matchup. Javon Bullard (ankle, questionable) could serve as Green Bay's top strong safety if active in Week 17. If not, Zayne Anderson is likely to fill in for Williams on Sunday.

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said after Monday's 34-0 win over the Saints that Williams is unlikely to play in the final two games of the regular season due to a quadricep injury, but the rookie safety is expected to be available for the start of the playoffs, Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com reports.
Analysis: Williams was a late addition to the Packers' injury report after suffering a quad injury in Saturday's practice, resulting in him missing Monday's contest. LaFleur's postgame comments seem to indicate that Williams will be out for at least two more contests, and if that's the case, the 23-year-old will close out the regular season with 49 tackles, one interception and one forced fumble over 13 appearances.

Pops up with injury Saturday
Williams is questionable for Monday's game against the Saints with a quad injury.
Analysis: Williams did not appear on Green Bay's practice report Thursday or Friday before showing up as a limited participant Saturday. The rookie safety has quickly stepped into a significant role in the secondary this season, tallying 49 tackles and three passes defended over 13 appearances. With fellow rookie Javon Bullard (ankle) already ruled out, defensive backs Zayne Anderson and Keisean Nixon will likely step up into bigger roles if Williams ultimately ends up inactive.

Analysis: The rookie safety from Oregon sustained a concussion in the Packers' Week 14 loss to the Lions, but he was able to practice in full both Thursday and Friday and has now cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, per Hodkiewicz.

Williams (concussion) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Williams exited Green Bay's Week 14 contest versus the Lions early due to a concussion. That was a Thursday game, so he's had more time than usual to try to recover. Williams will need to clear the NFL's concussion protocol in order to be able to suit up Sunday against Seattle. If he can't play, Zayne Anderson could see an uptick in defensive snaps, as he did against Detroit.

After starting the week with consecutive limited practices, Williams finished off strong with a full session Friday and will be good to go for Week 12.
