Not yet cleared to play Williams (ribs) is fully cleared to practice but isn't yet cleared to play in a game, per Aaron Coe of Emerald City Spectrum.

Impact Williams didn't play during Washington's win over Purdue on Friday, with Elijah Brown instead drawing the start.

Doesn't play Friday Williams (ribs) did not play during Friday's 38-26 win over Purdue.

Impact Williams was noted to possibly be available in a reserve role depending on warmups, but the quarterback was not needed Friday. He did go through pregame warmups, which is a positive indicator that he could return against Nebraska on Oct. 31 following the team's upcoming bye week. Elijah Brown drew the start under center for the first time this season and performed well enough to earn a victory, completing 21 of 27 passes for 302 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions.

Impact Williams Jr. has been nursing a rib injury and won't get the nod Friday, so Elijah Brown, who has been working with the first-team offense all week, will be under center. Williams Jr. could be available as a reserve, but according to Pete Thamel of ESPN.com, that'll depend on how he feels in the pre-game warmups.
