Evan Williams is 'really just grateful for the opportunities' Green Bay Packers S Evan Williams spoke with the media Monday about his rookie season, his development and what he's carrying into next year...
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.
Impact 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 and Xavier McKinney will serve as Green Bay's starting safeties while Javon Bullard and Kitan Oladapo operate as the backups due to Zayne Anderson (concussion) being inactive.

Could return for wild-card round Williams (quadriceps) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Eagles, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Impact Williams practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week for the first time since injuring his quadriceps in Green Bay's Week 15 win over the Seahawks, giving himself a chance to suit up for the wild-card round. The rookie safety from Oregon would be a significant addition to the Packers' defense, having recorded 49 total tackles, three passes defended, including one interception, and one forced fumble in 13 appearances this season. With Zayne Anderson (concussion) already ruled out, Kitan Oladapo is likely to serve as Green bay's top reserve safety and could start if Williams misses Sunday's contest. If Williams is cleared to play in the wild-card matchup, he's expected to start alongside first-team All-Pro Xavier McKinney as part of the Packers' top safety duo.

Back to work Williams (quadriceps) was a limited participant during practice Wednesday, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.
Impact 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 Sunday against the Eagles.

Ruled out for Week 18 Williams (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears.
Impact Williams logged a trio of DNPs in practice this week and will miss his third straight game. The fourth-round rookie safety closes out the regular season with 49 tackles (31 solo), three pass breakups, including one interception, and one forced fumble across 13 appearances, including six starts.

Doesn't practice Thursday Williams (quadriceps) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Williams is unlikely to play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bears due to a quadriceps injury that he suffered in practice leading up to the Packers' Week 16 win against the Saints, though he's expected to be back for the start of the playoffs. With Zayne Anderson (concussion) and Javon Bullard (ankle) also working through injuries, Kitan Oladapo could start at safety alongside Xavier McKinney in Week 18.

Officially out for Sunday Williams (quadriceps) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Vikings, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Impact 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.

Impact Williams was a late addition to the Packers' injury report Saturday due to a quadriceps injury, which was severe enough for him to be inactive for Monday's game. LaFleur's comments after the game seems to indicate that Williams will be sidelined for the rest of the regular season, but there's hope that the rookie fourth-rounder will be available for the Packers' first playoff game. Zayne Anderson ended up starting at safety alongside Xavier McKinney on Monday and the former finished with three tackles (two solo) and an interception. Anderson figures to remain as Green Bay's starting safety for the last two games of the regular season due to Williams' injury.

Pops up with injury Saturday Williams is questionable for Monday's game against the Saints with a quad injury.
Impact 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.

Ready for Week 15 Williams (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday night's matchup against the Seahawks, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Impact 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 has recorded 45 total tackles, three passes defended and one forced fumble through his first 12 games in the NFL. He's expected to serve as the Packers' top strong safety in Week 15.

Full practice Thursday Williams (concussion) was a full participant at the Packers' practice Thursday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Williams was able to increase his participation at practice Thursday after opening the week with a limited session Wednesday. The safety has yet to clear concussion protocol according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, but Thursday's practice is a massive step forward. Williams will look to clear protocol in time to play in Sunday night's matchup with the Seahawks.

Limited in practice Wednesday Williams (concussion) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Impact 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.

Good to go for Week 12 Williams (hamstring) was a full practice participant in Friday's session and does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the 49ers, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packer...
Impact Williams returned in Week 11 from a one-game absence due to a hamstring injury. 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. The rookie fourth-round safety has logged 34 tackles (23 solo), three pass defenses (including one interception) and one forced fumble over nine regular-season games.

Begins week as limited Williams (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Williams played through his hamstring issue in the Packers' Week 11 win over the Bears, recording six total tackles across 67 defensive snaps. This suggests that Wednesday's limited session is most likely precautionary; however, the rookie safety could be in jeopardy of missing the Week 12 matchup against the 49ers if he downgrades to no participation Thursday or Friday.
