The 5-foot-11 running back crossed the goalline on a three-yard plunge in the second quarter, giving the Terps a 23-14 lead at the time.

Listed as quesitonable Williams (undisclosed) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game at Nebraska, per the Big Ten availability report.

Impact Maryland has opted to list Williams as questionable, though it's worth noting that a previous report from 247Sports.com mentioned that he would likely be out for a month. It's possible the team will downgrade his status in the coming days, as this is the initial injury report. If the running back is unavailable, backups Harry Dalton and Iverson Howard should see more carries.

SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Likely out one month Williams (undisclosed) is likely to be out for a month, 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Williams potentially out for one month puts a dent into the running back's chances of replicating his previous success. Back in 2025, he logged 128 rushing attempts for 501 yards and three touchdowns. Williams also logged 45 receptions (on 65 targets) for 426 yards and an additional TD. This year, he already has at least 150 all-purpose yards and multiple touchdowns, all of which he logged in one game. But with a month potentially down the drain, Williams replicating his previous success looks unlikely, and Maryland will have to give chances to his backups Harry Dalton, Iverson Howard and maybe Terrez Worthy.

SEPTEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

DNP for Week 2 Williams (undisclosed) did not play during Maryland's 38-14 win Saturday at UConn.

Impact Williams will look to get his output back up in Week 3 against Virginia Tech. The running back finished Week 1 with three rushing attempts for 116 yards and two touchdowns.

SEPTEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Slated to sit Saturday Williams is in line to miss Saturday's game against UConn, 247Sports reports.

Impact Williams rushed only three times in the opener but put up big numbers along the way, collecting 116 rushing yards and a pair of scores and two catches for 35 yards. It appears he may have been slightly banged up along the way, and he's in line to sit out Saturday as a result. He'll have another chance to take the field next week, while Harry Dalton, Iverson Howard and Terrez Worthy are options to pick up the slack Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Big plays in opener Williams tallied three carries for 116 yards and two touchdowns and hauled in both targets for 35 yards during Saturday's 62-0 win versus Hampton.

Impact Williams was limited to just three rushing attempts on a day in which the Terps dominated a clearly outmatched opponent, but he certainly made the most of his opportunities. The 5-foot-11 running back took two of his rushing attempts to the house including a 94-yard scamper in the first quarter to get the scoring started on the day. While he was technically outpaced in rushing attempts on the day by several Maryland backs, the blowout nature of the game almost certainly led to his time on the sideline and shouldn't be a cause for concern moving forward. A road matchup against UConn awaits on Saturday.
