Back-to-back 100-tackle seasons Williams finished the 2022 campaign with 106 tackles (74 solo), three sacks, 12 tackles for loss and one pass defensed.

Impact What Williams lacks in coverage ability, he makes up for in stopping the run, as the 2019 third-round draft selection of the Jaguars has racked up 216 tackles in 31 games since being claimed on waivers by the Jets. Quincy will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, though his preference is to remain in New York alongside his brother Quinnen Williams.

Records 10 tackles again Williams registered 10 tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 23-6 loss to the Seahawks.

Impact Williams has now reached double-digit stops in consecutive outings, as he paced both clubs with 10 stops in the Week 17 loss to Seattle. The 26-year-old is in line to continue playing heavy snaps next Sunday against Miami.

JANUARY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ten tackles against former team Williams had 10 tackles (six solo) -- including one tackle for loss -- in Thursday's 19-3 loss to the Jaguars.

Impact Williams posted his second double-digit tackle total of the season. He needs 24 tackles over the Jets' last two games to tie last season's career high of 110, so the former third-round draft pick of the Jaguars appears likely to fall just shy of that total.

Seven tackles in Week 15 Williams totaled seven tackles (five solo), including two tackles for loss, in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Lions.

Impact Williams did his best to make up for the absence of his brother Quinnen Williams (calf). Even without Quinnen generating interior pressure along the defensive line, Quincy used his anticipation to shoot the gap and stop a few rushing attempts in their tracks. The 26-year-old linebacker raised his season total to 76 tackles (54 solo) through 12 appearances.

Six tackles in Week 14 Williams had six solo tackles in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Bills.

Impact Williams laid a couple of his signature big hits and finished second on the team in tackles behind C.J. Mosley (nine tackles, seven solo). After breaking out with 110 tackles last season, Williams has 69 in 11 appearances this year. His decrease in tackles can counter-intuitively be chalked up to New York's holistic improvement on defense, as the Jets are significantly better at getting the opposing offense off the field than they were last season.

Good to go Week 12 Williams (ankle) was a full participant in practice Friday and does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Williams exited with an ankle injury during Sunday's loss to the Patriots, causing him to play a season-low 68 percent of his team's defensive snaps Week 11. The linebacker then participated in a limited fashion during practice Wednesday and Thursday before logging a full session Friday. As a result, expect Williams, who has accumulated 55 tackles and two sacks over eight games this season, to reprise a starting role against Chicago in Week 12.

Exits with injury Williams (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Impact Williams was previously sidelined for two straight games after sustaining a high-ankle sprain against the Bengals in Week 3, though it's unclear if he aggravated this issue at all Sunday. With the starting outside linebacker sidelined for the time being, expect Jamien Sherwood to step up into a bigger role alongside C.J. Mosley and Kwon Alexander.
