Chiefs fans won't love this trade pitch that would hurt their defensive depth
When looking at the key members of the Kansas City Chiefs who will hit free agency next offseason, Joshua Williams definitely comes to mind.

Splits time again this season
Williams played on 393 defensive snaps and on 220 special-teams snaps during the 2024 regular season, recording 33 tackles (19 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and six pass breakups.
Impact
The 2022 fourth-round pick's snap counts were similar the last two years: 312 on defense and 303 on special teams in 2023 and 414 on defense and 215 on special teams in 2022. Williams was believed to have a chance at starting opposite Trent McDuffie going into the 2024 campaign, but Jaylen Watson ended up taking over that role. Williams is entering the final year of his rookie contract in 2025.

Full participant in practice
Williams (chest) was a full participant in Kansas City's practice Wednesday.
Impact
Williams suffered a chest injury during the team's Week 14 win over the Chargers but is now healthy once again. The 25-year-old will be good to go for Sunday's game versus Browns where he will look to contribute on both defense and special teams.

Questionable to return Sunday
Williams (chest) is questionable to return to Sunday night's contest against the Chargers, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
Impact
Williams went back to the locker room with a chest injury in the second half, placing some doubt on his chances to return to the field. In his absence, Keith Taylor stands to see an uptick in usage at cornerback versus Los Angeles.

Past hamstring issue
Williams (hamstring) was left off Kansas City's injury report Monday ahead of Thursday night's regular-season opener against Baltimore, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site r...
Impact
Williams has been dealing with a hamstring issue since mid-August, but it now appears he's fully recovered after being left off the Chiefs' injury report Monday. With the departure of L'Jarius Sneed this past offseason, Williams is projected to play a bigger role in Kansas City's secondary in 2024, starting opposite All-Pro Trent McDuffie.

Dealing with hamstring injury
Williams did not participate in Tuesday's practice due to a hamstring injury, Pete Sweeney of ArrowheadPride.com reports.
Impact
Williams played 21 snaps (13 on defense, eight on special teams) and recorded one tackle in Saturday's preseason game against Detroit. With Kansas City playing against Chicago on Thursday, it's unlikely that the 2022 fourth-round pick will suit up for the preseason finale. Williams is slated to serve as the second starting cornerback opposite Trent McDuffie.

Sitting out Week 15
Williams (illness) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Impact
Williams was added to the injury report Saturday with the illness and will end up missing his first game of the season. The 2022 fourth-round pick has primarily played on special teams over the past two months, so Kansas City's defense won't be significantly affected by his absence.

Kansas City selects in Round 4
The Chiefs selected Williams in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 135th overall.
Impact
Williams (6-foot-3, 195 pounds) played at tiny Fayetteville State and might need some development time before he's ready to play a leading role for the Chiefs, but that developmental upside is considerable and he's a good trait match to former top Chiefs corner Charvarius Ward, who left for San Francisco in free agency. With a huge frame and long reach, Williams has most prototypical traits for outside, press-heavy cornerback play.
