Overview
- Coach Matt LaFleur confirmed Williams resumed practice on Wednesday, which started his 21-day window to be evaluated and activated.
- Under NFL rules the Packers must add Williams to the active 53-man roster by Oct. 28 or he will revert to season-ending injured reserve.
- Williams missed the first four games after a preseason high-ankle sprain and was designated to return from injured reserve on cutdown day.
- The 6-foot-4 receiver offers gadget offense looks and kickoff-return ability but is unlikely to immediately supplant established starters such as Christian Watson and Matthew Golden.
- Williams was a 2025 third-round pick who showed multi-role value as a rookie with 10 catches, a touchdown and strong kickoff-return numbers, and his availability could ease depth and red-zone match-up issues for the Packers.
