---|---|---|---|
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 return from a torn ACL. 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, he may pop as the red zone threat New York desperately needs.
We’ll track his rehab closely this summer. For now, Williams is a fine bench stash.
