Evan Williams - Page 5 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Doesn't practice Thursday Williams (quadriceps) did not participate in Thursday's practice, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Williams is unlikely to play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bears due to a quadriceps injury that he suffered in practice leading up to the Packers' Week 16 win against the Saints, though he's expected to be back for the start of the playoffs. With Zayne Anderson (concussion) and Javon Bullard (ankle) also working through injuries, Kitan Oladapo could start at safety alongside Xavier McKinney in Week 18.

Officially out for Sunday Williams (quadriceps) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Vikings, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Head coach Matt LaFleur told reporters Monday that Williams was unlikely to play for the remainder of the regular season after sustaining a quadriceps injury in practice, so it's no surprise he's been ruled out for Sunday's divisional matchup. Javon Bullard (ankle, questionable) could serve as Green Bay's top strong safety if active in Week 17. If not, Zayne Anderson is likely to fill in for Williams on Sunday.

Impact Williams was a late addition to the Packers' injury report Saturday due to a quadriceps injury, which was severe enough for him to be inactive for Monday's game. LaFleur's comments after the game seems to indicate that Williams will be sidelined for the rest of the regular season, but there's hope that the rookie fourth-rounder will be available for the Packers' first playoff game. Zayne Anderson ended up starting at safety alongside Xavier McKinney on Monday and the former finished with three tackles (two solo) and an interception. Anderson figures to remain as Green Bay's starting safety for the last two games of the regular season due to Williams' injury.

If he can't play, Zayne Anderson could see an uptick in defensive snaps, as he did against Detroit.

Impact Williams played through his hamstring issue in the Packers' Week 11 win over the Bears, recording six total tackles across 67 defensive snaps.

Returning for Week 11 Williams (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against Chicago, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

Impact Williams suffered a hamstring injury in Week 8 against the Jaguars, which was severe enough for him to be inactive against the Lions in Week 9.

He will reclaim his starting spot at strong safety alongside free safety Xavier McKinney.

Impact Williams suffered a hamstring injury in Week 8 against the Jaguars, which was severe enough for him to be sidelined against the Lions in Week 9.
