Moved to reserve/PUP list
The Packers placed Williams (back) on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday, Wes Hodklewickz of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie seventh-rounder has been held out of training camp due to a back injury, which is severe enough for him to start the 2025 regular season on the PUP list. Williams will be required to miss at least the first four games of the season, which makes the Packers' Week 6 contest against the Bengals on Sunday, Oct. 12 the earliest he can make his NFL regular-season debut.

Remains sidelined with back injury
Williams did not participate in Thursday's training camp practice due to a back injury, Bill Huber of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie seventh-rounder opened training camp on the Packers' PUP list and he has been unable to participate in practices while working through a back injury. Williams is unlikely to play against the Jets in Saturday's preseason opener, but if he is cleared to return to practice next week, he could be available for Green Bay's second preseason contest against Indianapolis on Aug. 16.

Sidelined to begin rookie year
Williams (undisclosed) was placed on the active/PUP list on Friday, Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams was drafted in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft. He's expected to switch to guard after playing tackle in college at Cincinnati, though the first step will be for him to get healthy enough to take the field.

Green Bay adds Round 7 guard
The Packers selected Williams in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 250th overall.
ANALYSIS
Williams (6-foot-4, 322 pounds) did not play much until his fourth year at Cincinnati, from which point he started the final two seasons of his collegiate career. Williams is probably built more like a guard, and from that position he could be a good developmental prospect for Green Bay. Williams is very heavy and has excellent reach for a guard, and his lack of agility is less likely to get him beat at guard than at tackle.
