News

  • Waived by Packers

    Williams was waived by the Packers on Tuesday, Matt Lombardo of Heavy On Sports reports.

    Analysis: Williams failed to make the team after he turned 11 carries into 60 yards this preseason. Additionally, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports that the running back isn't expected to return to Green Bay's practice squad, so he'll be looking for a new team.

  • Effective in second straight

    Williams had five carries for 24 yards in Friday's preseason game against the Saints.

    Analysis: Williams has run the ball eight times through two exhibition contests, and he is averaging a healthy 6.6 yards per tote. While Williams has been effective, he did not take a carry until the second half in either game, and he remains fifth on the depth chart among healthy Packers running backs.

  • Returns to Green Bay

    Williams signed a contract with the Packers on Wednesday, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: Williams most recently played in the USFL for the Philadelphia Stars, but he started his professional career with the Packers. The 2019 sixth-round pick made seven appearances during his first two seasons with Green Bay, totaling 17 offensive snaps and 62 special-teams snaps. The Packers aren't planning on playing Aaron Jones or AJ Dillon during the preseason opener, and Kylin Hill (knee) remains on the PUP list, so the 25-year-old Williams will likely operate as an emergency back behind…read more

  • Returns from COVID-19 list

    Williams (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Williams was signed by the Browns off the Dolphins' practice squad Jan. 5, though he was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list the same day. His 2021 season is now over, though he did not appear in any games.

  • Signed to Browns' active roster

    Williams (undisclosed) was signed by the Browns on Wednesday before promptly being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

    Analysis: The running back was signed off of the Dolphins practice squad before being put on the COVID list. Williams has spent time with many practice squads this season but has yet to play a snap in 2021.

  • Joins Miami's practice squad

    Williams was signed to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Williams is a candidate to be promoted for Week 15 due to the lack of healthy running back depth currently on Miami's active roster. The third-year pro hasn't appeared in a game this season and has just 19 rushing yards on seven attempts during his NFL career.

  • Released from practice squad

    Williams was released from the Browns' practice squad Tuesday, Marla Ridenour of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: Williams was added to the Browns' practice squad while they dealt with a COVID-19 outbreak to their running back room. Now that Nick Chubb and Demetric Felton are back, Williams finds himself as the odd man out. In a corresponding move, Cleveland re-signed John Kelly to its practice squad.

  • Signs with practice squad

    Williams was added to the Browns' practice squad Wednesday.

    Analysis: With Nick Chubb and Demetric Felton on the reserve/COVID-19 list, the Browns added Williams to provide some depth to their backfield. The 2019 sixth-round pick has spent time on both the Packers' and Giants' practice squads this season. Both Chubb and Felton could play in Sunday's contest if they are able to clear COVID-19 protocols, but it's possible Williams could split the backup role with Brian Hill in the event neither are cleared.

  • Cut from practice squad

    Williams has been cut from the Giants' practice squad, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Williams rejoined the team's practice squad prior to Week 8. It was his second stint with the unit. He last suited up for a game in 2020 with the Packers.

  • Rejoins practice squad

    The Giants re-signed Williams to the practice squad Friday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Williams is set for his second stint on the Giants' practice squad this season. He hasn't suited up for NFL action since appearing in three games with the Packers in 2020.

  • Cut from practice squad

    The Giants cut Williams from the practice squad Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Williams appeared in seven total games with the Packers from 2019-20. Now that he's been cut loose by the Giants, the third-year pro will compete to latch on with another practice squad.

  • Waived by Packers

    Williams was cut by the Packers on Tuesday, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: The third-year running back running back ran for a respectable 4.8 yards on 17 carries over the Packers' three preseason games, but he resided at or near the bottom of the depth chart the entire time, and the Packers ultimately decided to drop the 2019 sixth-round pick. Only three running backs are likely to occupy spots on Green Bay's roster heading into Week 1, so Williams could take a place on the practice squad.

  • Unable to move up depth chart

    Williams had eight carries for 22 yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Jets.

    Analysis: Williams got twice as many chances to run the ball as he did in the Packers' preseason opener, but he did not do much with the extra opportunities and remains in the fifth spot at his position on the depth chart with just one exhibition game remaining.

  • Seemingly last on depth chart

    Williams had four carries for 32 yards in the Packers' preseason opener against the Texans.

    Analysis: Williams was the Packers' leading rusher on the night, but he did not receive a carry until the team's final drive, which -- per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic -- suggests he is currently in the fifth spot on the depth chart among the five running backs in camp.

  • Inks reserve/future deal

    Williams has signed a reserve/future contract with the Packers.

    Analysis: Williams was just cut from the Packers' practice squad prior to their loss in the NFC Championship Game. His departure was used to add offensive line depth. He spent most of the 2020 season on Green Bay's practice squad, but he did ultimately suit up for three games and record eight yards on two rushes.

  • Shown door in Green Bay

    Williams was cut from the Packers' practice squad Saturday.

    Analysis: Williams' departure opened a spot on the practice squad for punter Ryan Winslow. Williams, a 2019 sixth-round pick, played seven offensive snaps for the Packers this year, rushing twice for eight yards.

  • Reverts to practice squad

    Williams reverted to the Packers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Analysis: Williams garnered four snaps on special teams and three more on offense during a Sunday night win over the Titans, but the 23-year-old didn't get any work on the ground as he did during his last appearance Week 9. A knee injury kept Williams on the practice squad injured list between Nov. 11 and Dec. 15, but now he's available once again to provide depth to Green Bay's backfield when called upon.

  • Elevated for Week 16

    Williams was promoted to the Packers' active roster from the practice squad Saturday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The 23-year-old is a gameday elevation for Sunday's matchup with the Titans as Jamaal Williams (quadriceps) is expected to be sidelined. Dexter Williams is unlikely to see many offensive opportunities behind Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon.

  • Shakes off injury

    The Packers restored Williams (knee) from the practice squad injured list Tuesday.

    Analysis: Williams has recovered from the sprained MCL he suffered during a win over San Francisco in Week 9. He'll likely remain on the practice squad unless one of Aaron Jones, Jamaal Williams or AJ Dillon picks up an injury.

  • Suffers sprained MCL

    The Packers placed Williams (knee) on the practice squad injured list Wednesday after he was diagnosed with a sprained MCL, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Williams will miss three weeks of practice time after suffering the injury in last Thursday's win over the 49ers. The Packers signed Mike Weber to the practice squad to bolster their organizational depth at running back while Williams is on the mend.

  • May be facing long-term injury

    Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that the knee injury Williams sustained in Thursday's 34-17 win over the 49ers is "potentially" a long-term concern, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: After AJ Dillon and Jamaal Williams were placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list earlier this week, the Packers called up Dexter Williams from the practice squad ahead of Thursday's contest to provide depth at running back behind Aaron Jones and Tyler Ervin. Williams carried two times for eight yards in the second quarter before being announced as out for the remainder of the contest coming out of halftime. Though LaFleur didn't get into specifics about the injury, the Packers apparently fear…read more

  • Done for the night

    Williams will not return to Thursday's game against the 49ers due to a knee injury.

    Analysis: Williams had two carries for eight yards in the first half, but he was ruled out with a knee injury prior to the start of the third quarter. The 2019 sixth-round pick was promoted from the practice squad for Thursday's contest, and his absence will now leave Tyler Ervin as the only backup behind Aaron Jones.

  • Will be available Thursday

    The Packers elevated Williams from the practice squad to the active roster in advance of Thursday's contest in San Francisco, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: Green Bay's backfield has been whittled down to few available and healthy bodies, with AJ Dillon testing positive for COVID-19 earlier this week and Jamaal Williams joining him on the reserve/COVID-19 list as a high-risk close contact. With Williams temporarily on the active roster, the Packers have two RBs who don't have injury designations -- also, Tyler Ervin -- but the team is hopeful Aaron Jones will be cleared to play through a calf injury. Whether it's a two- or three-headed backfield…read more

  • Likely to have Week 9 role

    The Packers are expected to elevate Williams from their practice squad prior to Thursday's game against the 49ers, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: Green Bay is perilously thin at running back entering the Week 9 matchup, as Jamaal Williams and AJ Dillon reside on the reserve/COVID-19 list, while top option Aaron Jones (calf) is uncertain to return from a two-game absence. Even if Jones is cleared to play, he may not be ready to handle a normal snap load, so both Tyler Ervin and Williams are expected to have roles in Green Bay's game plan. Williams' outlook in particular would improve if Jones sits out, as the 5-foot-10, 192-pound Ervin…read more

  • Shifts back to practice squad

    Williams reverted to the Packers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Analysis: Aaron Jones (calf) was sidelined for Sunday's win against the Texans, so Williams elevated to the active roster to add depth in the backfield. The 2019 sixth-round pick never got on the field with the offense, but he played 15 snaps on special teams and made a tackle. Jones' injury isn't expected to linger for very long, but if it keeps him out Week 8 against the Vikings, Williams likely would be called up again.

  • Lands on active roster

    Williams was elevated to the Packers' active roster Saturday.

    Analysis: It's an especially interesting designation given Aaron Jones' (calf) tentative status for Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but should Jones ultimately be ruled inactive, expect Jamaal Williams and AJ Dillon to split the bulk of the carries, with Williams contributing almost exclusively in passing downs. Dexter Williams saw just 10 offensive snaps as a rookie last season, carrying the ball five times for 11 yards, so it's almost assured Williams will simply provide depth behind Jamaal Williams and…read more

  • Resurfaces on practice squad

    The Packers signed Williams to the practice squad Thursday, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: The 2019 sixth-round pick only appeared in four contests with Green Bay as a rookie, but he'll get a chance to continue his development with the team. Both Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams are entering the final year of their rookie contracts, so the Packers could have additional opportunities in the backfield on deck in 2021.

  • Waived by Packers

    The Packers are waiving Williams, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.

    Analysis: The 2019 sixth-rounder Williams was used sparingly as a rookie, but he figures to be a candidate for Green Bay's practice squad if he clears waivers.

    Published: Sat, Sep 5 at 7:01am by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Plays sparingly in rookie season

    Williams appeared in four games during his rookie season and accumulated 11 yards on five carries.

    Analysis: Williams spent the entire season on the Packers' 53-man roster, but he was activated only four times and played sparingly in those instances. The Packers clearly see some potential in Williams, but they did not invest more than a sixth-round pick in him, so he will presumably need to earn a roster spot in training camp.

  • Not on injury report

    Williams (illness) is not listed on Wednesday's injury report.

    Analysis: Williams sat out the divisional-round win over Seattle due to the ailment, but he now appears to have shaken the illness. The rookie sixth-round pick should be ready to go for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the 49ers, but with both Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams available, Dexter could be a healthy inactive.

  • Inactive for divisional-round game

    Williams (illness) is inactive for Sunday's playoff game against the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Williams is one of multiple Packers battling an illness this week, and he'll miss Sunday's divisional-round tilt as a result. Given that Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams are both active, Williams was an unlikely candidate to handle offensive snaps even if fully healthy.

    Published: Sun, Jan 12 at 2:20pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Status in question for Sunday

    Williams (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's divisional-round game against the Seahawks, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Williams is one of three Packers battling an illness this week, which kept him off the practice field entirely. With Jamaal Williams (shoulder) back in action Sunday, Dexter Williams was an unlikely candidate to see the field anyway, let alone be active, so the bug may be enough to ensure he's among the team's inactives.

  • No practice Thursday

    Williams is not participating in Thursday's practice due to an illness, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Williams will have one more opportunity to up his level of activity ahead of Sunday's NFC divisional-round game against Seattle. With Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams both operating at full health, the rookie sixth-round pick will likely only play a reserve role if healthy.

  • Limited work in Week 17

    Williams had two carries for nine yards in Sunday's victory over the Lions.

    Analysis: Williams was activated in Week 17 for just the fourth time all season with Jamaal Williams (shoulder) inactive, but he saw only limited work while playing the third-most snaps among Packers running backs. Jamaal Williams is expected back for the playoffs, so Dexter Williams will likely serve only as depth the rest of the way.

  • Active Week 17

    Williams is active for Sunday's game in Detroit, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: The Packers invested a sixth-round pick earlier this year in Williams, but the rookie has only been called upon three other times this season, the last being Week 9. With Jamaal Williams (shoulder) sidelined, Dexter Williams will join Tyler Ervin as the available reserve running backs behind Aaron Jones.

  • Could see added snaps Week 17

    Coach Matt LaFleur said Thursday that the Packers will rely more on Williams in this weekend's game against the Lions if Jamaal Williams (shoulder) is ruled out for the contest, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: After exiting early in Monday's win over the Vikings, Jamaal was listed as a non-participant in practices Wednesday and Thursday, a sign that he may be trending toward an absence in Week 17. Along with Dexter, LaFleur suggested that fullback Danny Vitale (knee) could pick up some of the snaps typically designated for Jamaal, but Vitale's availability is also muddled after back-to-back absences from practice. Even if both banged-up backs sit out Sunday and clear a path for Dexter to step into…read more
