News

  • Returns to Los Angeles

    Williams has agreed to a three-year contract with the Rams, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Williams spent the last two seasons in Jacksonville but spent the four years before that with the Rams. The soon-to-be 31-year-old was released by the Jaguars last Tuesday after recording 53 combined tackles and 19 passes defended, including four interceptions, across 17 contests during the 2023 campaign. He should step into a starting role for Los Angeles during the upcoming season.

  • Being released by Jacksonville

    The Jaguars are set to release Williams, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Williams' release will save Jacksonville roughly $10 million in cap space, per Michael DiRocco of ESPN. Cutting him only leaves the team with $500,000 in dead cap, making the move an obvious one. The soon-to-be 31-year-old played extremely well in 2023, with 19 pass breakups and four interceptions across 17 regular-season games, so he should be an intriguing name on the free agent market.

  • Totals 19 pass breakups

    Williams finished the 2023 regular season with 53 tackles (44 solo), 19 pass deflections, four interceptions and two forced fumbles in 17 games.

    Analysis: Williams didn't have any interceptions in his first year with Jacksonville during 2022, but he picked off four passes in 2023 and also had the exact same tackle total. The 30-year-old is entering the final season of his three-year, $30 million contract and has likely played well enough to finish out the deal. However, if Jacksonville is looking for cap savings, Williams could be cut with just $500,000 in dead cap compared to his scheduled cap hit of $10.5 million.

  • Picks off Flacco in narrow loss

    Williams had two solo tackles, three passes defensed and one interception during Sunday's 31-27 loss to Cleveland.

    Analysis: Williams continues to operate as a high-end coverage option for Jacksonville, though those skills don't often translate to elite fantasy production. The 30-year-old next faces the task of keeping Lamar Jackson and company contained through the air, with the Jaguars taking on the Ravens in primetime on Sunday night Week 15.

  • Scores versus Atlanta

    Williams logged five tackles (four solo) and three pass deflections, including a pick-six, during Jacksonville's 23-7 win against the Falcons on Sunday.

    Analysis: Williams helped lead the way for a dominant performance by the Jaguars' defense that forced three turnovers Sunday. The 30-year-old will look to build on this strong performance against the Bills in Week 5, but he'll have the difficult task of trying to slow down Stefon Diggs.

  • Bound for Jacksonville

    Williams is expected to sign a three-year, $30 million contract with the Jaguars on Wednesday, Adam Schefter and Dan Graziano of ESPN report.

    Analysis: The Jaguars continue their offseason spending spree, with Williams' addition offering a notable boost to the secondary. That said, despite the cornerback's impressive on-field play, he doesn't often rack up the statistics necessary to emerge as a relevant option in IDP leagues. The change of scenery likely won't change that.

  • Full participant Thursday

    Williams was estimated as a full participant at Thursday's walkthrough, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The cornerback is dealing with a shoulder issue, but head coach Sean McVay says that he is "pushing through" the injury ahead of the team's wild-card matchup with the Cardinals on Monday. Williams' status at practice the rest of the week is worth monitoring, though it appears he is likely to play.

  • Dealing with shoulder issue

    Williams was evaluated for a shoulder injury Monday, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Williams is among a number of Rams players in the secondary either ruled out or in danger of missing Monday's wild-card matchup against Arizona. However, there's been no word on the severity of the issue, so Williams' ability to practice throughout the week will give a more realistic idea of his potential to suit up. Across 14 games this season, he racked up 71 tackles with nine passes defended.

  • Available Monday

    Williams (ankle) is active for Monday's game against the 49ers, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Williams made his return from injured reserve for Week 9 and has been cleared to play Monday after being considered questionable. He played 59 percent of the defensive snaps last week and could continue building up to a full workload.

    Published: Mon, Nov 15 at 4:17pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Questionable for Week 10

    Williams (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the 49ers, Jourdan Rodrigue of the Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Williams has been trending in the wrong direction, as he was a full practice participant Thursday, limited Friday and couldn't practice at all Saturday. If the starting cornerback is unable to tough it out Monday, Robert Rochell would likely get the start opposite Jalen Ramsey.

    Published: Sat, Nov 13 at 3:08pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Limited Friday

    Williams (ankle) was limited at Friday's practice, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Williams was a full participant Thursday, so Friday's limited workload is somewhat concerning. Still, the team could just be erring on the side of caution with an injury that had him previously on injured reserve. Saturday's practice report should bring more clarity to the issue.

  • Activated for Sunday

    Williams (ankle) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.

    Analysis: Williams was reported to be ready to go for Sunday on Friday, but he had yet to be activated. With this news, he should return to the field Sunday against the Titans after missing three weeks of action.

    Published: Sat, Nov 6 at 12:22pm by Rotowire.com

  • Should play Sunday

    Williams (ankle) should be able to play Sunday according to head coach Sean McVay, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Williams was designated to return from IR Wednesday and will need to be activated by Saturday to play in Week 9. Before getting injured, Williams had missed only one defensive snap all season. He will likely return to his starting role if he can play Sunday against the Titans.

    Published: Fri, Nov 5 at 4:02pm by Rotowire.com

  • Designated to return from IR

    Williams (ankle) has been designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday.

    Analysis: Williams sprained his ankle during the Rams' Week 5 win over the Seahawks and was placed on injured reserve. He returned to practice Wednesday, which will begin the 21-day window for him to be added to the active roster. Before his injury, Williams had only missed one defensive snap this season, so when he returns, it will likely be a huge boost to Los Angeles' secondary.

    Published: Wed, Nov 3 at 10:53am by Rotowire.com

  • Placed on IR

    Williams (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Analysis: The 28-year-old suffered a mild ankle sprain Thursday versus the Seahawks and will now be out for at least three weeks. In five games this season, Williams has 29 tackles and two pass deflections.

    Published: Tue, Oct 12 at 3:56pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Likely out for Week 6

    Williams (ankle) isn't expected to be available for Week 6 against the Giants, J.B. Long of the Los Angeles Rams Radio Network reports.

    Analysis: Williams suffered an ankle injury during Thursday's matchup with the Seahawks, and it may require a trip to IR, per head coach Sean McVay. His status will continue to be monitored moving forward, but for now, the expectation is that he'll be sidelined at least for the Rams' upcoming game.

  • Diagnosed with mild sprain

    Williams suffered a mild ankle sprain in Thursday's win over Seattle, Stu Jackson of the Rams' official site reports.

    Analysis: Coach Sean McVay said Friday that Williams doesn't have a timetable for his return, but it's encouraging that the injury is considered minor. The cornerback will have a few additional days to recover ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Giants.

  • Ruled out with ankle injury

    Williams will not return to Thursday's game against Seattle due to an ankle injury.

    Analysis: Williams was involved in a collision with a teammate late in the fourth quarter. The good news is that he will have extra time to try to return to health for the Rams' Week 6 matchup against the Giants a week from Sunday. Prior to exiting, Williams recorded four tackles.

  • Ready for Week 1

    Williams (ankle) isn't listed on the Rams' injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Williams was dealing with an ankle injury early in August and has just made it off the Rams' injury list. The cornerback is slated for a big role alongside Jalen Ramsey on what should be one of the league's top defenses. Williams appears to be on track to play in Sundays' opener against the Bears.

    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Expected to return next week

    Coach Sean McVay said Thursday that he expects Williams (ankle) to be back next week, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic.

    Analysis: Williams has been held out of practice since Tuesday due to an ankle issue, and it seems unlikely that he'll be able to suit up for Saturday's preseason opener against the Chargers. However, if the cornerback is able to return to practice next week, he'd likely have ample time to prepare for Week 1 against the Bears on Sept. 12.

  • Dealing with ankle issue

    Williams is dealing with an ankle issue and did not practice Tuesday, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The severity of the ankle injury remains unknown, but it's something to keep an eye on as Saturday's preseason opener against the Chargers approaches. Williams is slated to replace Troy Hill as the team's starting corner opposite Jalen Ramsey, but it could be Donte Deayon and David Long seeing increased reps if Williams remains sideline for some time.

  • Returning to Los Angeles

    Williams signed a one-year restricted free agent tender with the Rams on Wednesday, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: The Rams placed a first-round tender on Williams this offseason, a move that signaled a strong desire to keep him around for 2021. Look for Williams to head into next season as a key piece of the secondary, coming off a 2020 campaign in which he posted career highs in interceptions (four), tackles (44) and pass breakups (14) .

    Published: Wed, Apr 21 at 3:22pm by Rotowire.com

  • Given first-round tender

    The Rams extended Williams a first-round tender Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: A first-round tender essentially assures that Williams will be back in Los Angeles next season, in addition to guaranteeing him a salary of no less than $4.77 million. Williams, who turned 28 years old today, is coming off the best year of his career and has emerged as a legitimate playmaker in the Rams secondary.

  • Notable role in 2020

    Williams recorded 44 tackles (37 solo), 14 pass breakups and four interceptions across 16 regular-season games with the Rams in 2020.

    Analysis: Williams managed career-high numbers across the board in 2020, playing 824 defensive snaps compared to 221 snaps in 2019. His 14 pass breakups tied for 12th in the NFL. The soon-to-be 28-year-old is set to become a restricted free agent this offseason.

    Published: Wed, Feb 10 at 4:02pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Settling into expanded role

    Williams played 47 of 49 defensive snaps and recorded two solo tackles and a pass breakup during Sunday's 28-17 loss to Miami.

    Analysis: The second-year Ram has started six of eight games and is playing the majority of defensive snaps. Williams appears locked into his extended role and ranks 15th among eligible cornerbacks, according to PFF position grades. He's probably still not a serviceable fantasy asset in most settings, though.

  • Good to go Sunday

    Williams (ankle) is active for Sunday's game versus the Bills, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Williams has a consistent role on the Rams' defense, as he's logged at least 89 percent of the defensive snaps in each game to begin the season. He's produced well, too, recording five solo tackles, a pass breakup and an interception.

    Published: Sun, Sep 27 at 8:45am by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Questionable for Sunday's game

    Williams (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest at Buffalo.

    Analysis: Williams operated under a DNP/LP/LP practice schedule this week, so the arrow seems to be pointing in the right direction for an appearance Sunday. The reserve corner so far has earned 46 percent of the Rams' snaps on defense through two games this season, which would fall in David Long's lap if Williams is inhibited or absent this weekend.

  • Ends season with starting duties

    Williams finished the 2019 season with 15 tackles, four pass breakups and two interceptions over 12 games.

    Analysis: Williams barely played on defense over the first 14 weeks, as he logged 175 of his 221 defensive snaps over the last three weeks since Troy Hill dealt with a fractured thumb. The 26-year-old corner allowed 9.4 yards per target and a touchdown. He's under contract for another season, but when the crew is healthy again, he projects as a special-teams player.

    Published: Wed, Jan 8 at 2:35pm by Rotowire.com

  • Good to go

    Williams (ankle) is absent from the Rams' final injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Seahawks, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: Williams logged a full workload at Friday's practice, which was enough for the Rams to consider him ready to go Sunday. Barring any setbacks, look for him to resume his usual role providing depth in the team's secondary.

  • Out for Week 13

    Williams (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Mike Jurecki of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Williams was unable to get on the practice field at all during the week. The Rams will be without some of their depth in the secondary for a third-straight game as a result.

    Published: Fri, Nov 29 at 3:04pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Won't play Monday

    Williams (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Ravens, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: Williams hasn't practiced since suffering the ankle injury Week 10 and will miss his second straight game. The Rams are otherwise healthy at cornerback, so the defense is unlikely to be impacted by his absence.

  • Declared out for Week 11

    Williams (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against Chicago.

    Analysis: Williams was unable to participate in practice all week after suffering the injury in Week 10. Accordingly, the Rams will be without some of their special-teams depth.

  • Ruled out Sunday

    Williams (ankle) won't return to Sunday's game against the Steelers, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Williams was forced to leave the game in the second quarter, and couldn't give it a go after getting extra treatment during halftime. The UAB product is primarily used on special teams, so his absence likely won't effect the defense.

  • Leaves game Sunday

    Williams (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Steelers.

    Analysis: It's unclear how Williams picked up the injury, but he was forced to exit the game in the second quarter. He'll likely get some extra treatment during halftime, but as long as he's sidelined, look for David Long to see a slight bumped in snaps.
