---|---|---|---|
May 12, 2017 | NFL | Back Vertebral Disc Hernia | Williams suffered what the team called a "mild disc herniation in his lower back" on the 1st day of rookie minicamp. He didn't return to practice until September and didn't play until mid-October (Week 6). |
Sep 5, 2015 | Non-NFL | Cervical Neck Fracture | Williams fractured the C6 vertebrae at the base of his neck in the 1st game of the 2015 season at Clemson. |

Nov 20, 2022 | NFL | Pedal Ankle Sprain/Pull Unspecified Grade 1 | Williams aggravated his right ankle injury in Week 11. |
Sep 24, 2023 | NFL | Knee ACL Tear Grade 3 | Williams sustained a left knee injury in Week 3 vs. the Vikings. He was later diagnosed with a season-ending ACL tear. |
Williams’ boom-or-bust projection remains in play.
Part of that stems from his current ACL rehab. Of course, Aaron Rodgers’ recovery from an Achilles tear is another huge component.
Given the variables, it’s likely we see a slow start for the former Charger. But from mid-season on, it’s quite possible he pops as the red zone threat New York desparately needs.
We’ll track his rehab closely this summer. For now, Williams is a fine bench stash.
For us, it's 1/17th of the equation. Hear us out.
