Quincy Williams Injury News & Updates
Nov 15, 2025
Logs eight tackles vs. Patriots
Williams recorded eight total tackles (six solo) in Thursday night's 27-14 loss to the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
The Murray State product tied Jarvis Brownlee, Jamien Sherwood and Brandon Stephens for the most stops on the Jets' defense during Thursday's loss. Since returning from injury in the Week 8 win over the Bengals, Williams has tallied 23 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and two passes defended over just three contests. He's expected to remain a viable IDP option in the Jets' Week 12 matchup against the Ravens.
Nov 9, 2025
Seven tackles in win
Williams compiled seven total tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Williams was ticketed to see a drop in workload in Week 10, but that didn't necessarily transpire. The linebacker finished tied for third on the team with safety Isaiah Oliver in takedowns, and he was able to get to Dillon Gabriel for a sack in the third quarter. Williams is now up to 29 total tackles (16 solo), including 2.5 sacks, while also adding four passes defensed over five games this year.
Nov 5, 2025
Loses starting gig
Williams was informed that he's lost his starting job Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams spoke with the media Wednesday, stating that "my coaches told me I was underperforming, that I've been underperforming since training camp." The linebacker is "not thrilled" with the decision, but he intends to win his job back. It's unclear who will replace Williams against the Browns on Sunday, but Ja'Markis Weston and Kobe King are two candidates to do so.
Oct 30, 2025
Comes back and makes plays
Williams finished with seven tackles (three solo) and two pass breakups in Sunday's 39-38 win over the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
The outside linebacker missed the previous four games with a shoulder injury. Williams is up to 22 tackles (11 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and four passes defensed on the season. He's played most of the defensive snaps this season when available, and that shouldn't change after the Jets' Week 9 bye.
Oct 26, 2025
Cleared to return Week 8
Williams (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
The Jets activated Williams from injured reserve Saturday, and the 2019 third-rounder has been officially cleared to return from a four-game absence due to a shoulder injury. He'll likely see a heavy dose of defensive snaps in his return, which means there will be less opportunities for Ja'Markis Weston and Mykal Walker to see the field on defense.
Oct 25, 2025
Activated from injured reserve
The Jets activated Williams (shoulder) from injured reserve Saturday, but he is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
Williams was cleared to return to practice Wednesday after missing the Jets' last four games due to a shoulder injury. He was a full participant in practice all week, and while he's still questionable, his activation from IR indicates that he is tracking toward playing Week 8. Williams' return would mean less rotational snaps at linebacker for Kobe King, Ja'Markis Weston and Mykal Walker.
Oct 22, 2025
Practice window opens
Williams (shoulder) was designated to return from the injured reserve list Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
The Murray State product has been sidelined for the Jets' last four games after sustaining a shoulder injury during the Week 3 loss to the Buccaneers. However, his practice window opened Wednesday, and he now has 21 days to be added to the team's active roster before reverting to IR. Williams is an integral part of the Jets' defense, recording 116 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, four passes defended and four forced fumbles over 17 games in 2024. When fully healthy, he's expected to operate as one of the Jets' top linebackers.
Sep 23, 2025
Lands on injured reserve
The Jets placed Williams (shoulder) on injured reserve Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Williams suffered a shoulder injury during the first half of Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Buccaneers, finishing the game with four tackles (three solo), including 0.5 sacks, and one pass defense. He'll be required to miss at least the next four games, which makes Week 8 against the Bengals on Sunday, Oct. 26 the earliest he can return. With Williams and Marcelino McCrary-Ball (hamstring) both on injured reserve, the Jets will turn to Mark Robinson, Cam Jones and rookie fifth-rounder Francisco Mauigoa to serve at outside linebacker with the first-team defense.
Sep 21, 2025
Won't return due to shoulder injury
Williams has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers due to a shoulder injury.
ANALYSIS
Williams suffered the injury during the first half of Sunday's game. After being evaluated in the locker room during halftime, the injury has been deemed severe enough for him to not return, and he will finish with four tackles (three solo), including 0.5 sacks. Cam Jones should see more work at outside linebacker the rest of the way due to Williams' injury.
Sep 8, 2025
Posts Week 1 sack
Williams recorded six tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's Week 1 loss to Pittsburgh.
ANALYSIS
Williams' sack came at a critical time -- he brought down Aaron Rodgers in a one-point game midway through the fourth quarter, leading to a Pittsburgh punt. The linebacker isn't typically a big part of New York's pass rush, having tallied a modest 9.0 regular-season sacks over his first four campaigns with the club. However, he's also compiled at least 106 tackles in each season during that span.
Jan 9, 2025
Fourth straight 100-tackle season
Williams finished the 2024 season with 2.0 sacks among his 116 tackles (74 solo), as well as four passes defensed, four forced fumbles and three fumbles recovered.
ANALYSIS
Williams posted a fourth consecutive season with at least 106 tackles and continued his strong play despite the Jets defense taking a step back as a unit. The 28-year-old linebacker will carry a cap hit of $8.425 million in 2025 as he wraps up a three-year, $18 million contract.
Dec 30, 2024
Leading tackler at Buffalo
Williams recorded 10 tackles (five solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 40-14 loss against the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Williams was on the field for all 62 of the Jets' defensive snaps in Week 17, and he posted a double-digit tackle total for the third time this season. He figures to retain a near-every down role when the Jets host the Dolphins in Week 18.
Dec 3, 2024
Notches sack in loss
Williams recorded seven total tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a forced fumble in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
Williams forced a fumble on rush attempt by Kenneth Walker on the first play of the game, but it was recovered by the Seahawks. Williams later added a sack of Geno Smith in the third quarter, raising his season total to 2.0 sacks. The linebacker has registered 87 total tackles (56 solo), including the 2.0 sacks, while also adding three forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and a pass defensed over 12 games in 2024.
Nov 11, 2024
Logs sack in loss
Williams recorded 10 total tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 31-6 loss to the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
The Murray State product tied Tony Adams as the Jets' second-leading tackler in Sunday's defeat, trailing just Jamien Sherwood's 17-tackle effort. Williams also posted his second double-digit tackle game of the season, bringing his totals up to 74 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defended through 10 weeks. He's expected to remain the Jets' top inside linebacker as the season progresses.
Sep 30, 2024
Logs two TFLs vs. Broncos
Williams recorded seven total tackles (five solo), including two tackles for loss, in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
Williams has now accumulated 31 total tackles, including three tackles for loss, defended one pass and forced one fumble through the Jets' first four contests. He leads New York's defense in total tackles and forced fumbles while ranking second in tackles for loss. Williams is projected to continue being a tackling machine for this Jets defense and should be a very valuable IDP asset for the remainder of the season.
Sep 20, 2024
Leads Jets with eight tackles
Williams tallied eight tackles (five solo) in Thursday's 24-3 win over the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Williams was one of five Jets defenders who played all 52 snaps on defense Thursday. The 2019 third-round pick hasn't missed a defensive snap through the first three games of the regular season, and over that span he has accumulated 24 tackles (18 solo), one pass defended and one fumble recovery.
Jan 14, 2024
Gets All-Pro nod for career year
Williams finished the 2023 season with 2.0 sacks among his 139 tackles (95 solo), as well as 10 passes defensed, including one interception.
ANALYSIS
Williams was named a first-team All-Pro by the Associated Press, as he was among the league's top performers at linebacker. After exceeding 100 tackles in each of the previous two seasons, Williams set a career high in that category, and his 10 passes defensed were three more than Williams had in 49 NFL appearances entering 2023. Williams will be back with the Jets in 2024, having signed a three-year contract prior to the 2023 campaign.
Dec 29, 2023
Raises season total to 131 tackles
Williams recorded seven tackles (five solo) and forced a fumble in Thursday's 37-20 loss to the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Williams notched his second forced fumble of the season while pushing his tackle total up to 131 (91 solo). The 27-year-old linebacker's strong 2023 season has also included 10 passes defensed and an interception, as Williams has grown into a three-down role after working exclusively as an early down run stopper in previous seasons.
Dec 25, 2023
Nabs first INT of season
Williams racked up eight tackles (seven solo), two passes defensed and one interception during Sunday's 30-28 win over the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
Williams has still only notched a sack in one of 15 appearances this season, though he did tally two on that occasion. He's already notched a career-high 87 tackles (37 solo) this season, though, so he remains a high-end IDP fantasy play heading into a Week 17 road matchup at Cleveland.
Dec 1, 2023
Will play vs. Falcons
Williams (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game versus the Falcons, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite being limited at practice Thursday, Williams will be available for the Jets in Week 13. He figures to be a great IDP play come Sunday, as Atlanta has run the ball on 49 percent of its offensive snaps so far this season, more often than all but two other teams.
Nov 30, 2023
Still bothered by knee
Williams (knee) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
However, Williams was in the locker room with his team after practice, a promising sign for his potential availability in Week 13. If he can practice in full Friday, he'll likely avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.
Nov 22, 2023
Practices in full Wednesday
Williams (knee) was a full participant at practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams was listed as limited on the Jets' practice estimate Tuesday, but he was able to upgrade to full participation Wednesday. He should start at linebacker Friday versus the Dolphins.
Nov 21, 2023
Dealing with knee injury
Williams (knee) was listed as a limited participant on the Jets' estimated injury report Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Williams has been dealing with a knee injury on and off this season, but he's been able to play in all 10 of their contests, so his status Tuesday isn't much of a concern. The linebacker has compiled 31 tackles and a pass deflection over the last four games.
Nov 20, 2023
Closing in on 100 tackles
Williams had 10 tackles (six solo), including one tackle for loss, in Sunday's 32-6 loss to Buffalo.
ANALYSIS
Williams has posted double-digit tackle totals in half of the Jets' 10 games this season. He also has at least one tackle for loss in all but one game. The 27-year-old linebacker needs nine tackles to crack triple digits in that category for the third straight season.
Nov 10, 2023
Good to go at Vegas
Williams (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game at the Raiders, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams was able to manage a full practice Friday, putting him on track to suit up in Week 10. He projects as a good IDP play, having tallied at least nine total tackles in six of his eight games so far this season.
Nov 8, 2023
Limited in Wednesday walkthrough
Williams (knee) was listed as a limited participant in the Jets' practice walkthrough Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams played almost every one of the Jets' defensive snaps in Monday's loss to the Chargers, but he appears to have come away with a knee issue. New York held a walkthrough Wednesday, so Williams' limited status is simply an estimation, and a better idea of his status for Sunday's game in Las Vegas should emerge over the next two days.
Oct 30, 2023
Tackling machine in OT win
Williams had 11 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 13-10 OT win over the Giants.
ANALYSIS
As he has all season, Williams was all over the field Sunday and registered double-digit tackles for the fourth time this season. He's recorded at least nine tackles in all but one game this year and has played in at least 96 percent of defensive snaps in all seven contests. He's tied with C.J. Mosley with the most tackles on the team (71) and will continue to get involved in Week 9 against the Chargers on Monday night.
Oct 16, 2023
Stuffs stat sheet again
Williams recorded 12 tackles (nine solo), including one tackle for loss, while adding a pass defensed and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 20-14 win over the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
Quincy and brother Quinnen Williams each forced a turnover as the Jets' defense turned Philadelphia over four times in all. Quinnen is already recognized as one of the NFL's best defensive players, having been named a first-team All-Pro defensive tackle last season, and Quincy's making a case to join his brother among the All-Pro ranks in 2023. The 27-year-old linebacker has 60 tackles (47 solo), five passes defensed and two sacks through six games.
Oct 10, 2023
Two sacks in win
Williams recorded nine tackles (five solo), including two sacks, while also forcing a fumble in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
Williams was able to notch his first two sacks of the season while he also stripped Russell Wilson late in the fourth quarter, which put the game on ice for New York. The linebacker now has 48 tackles, including two sacks, while deflecting four passes and forcing a fumble over the first five games of 2023.
Oct 3, 2023
Tallies 13 stops in Week 4
Williams registered 13 tackles (10 solo), including two for loss, and added two defensed passes Sunday in a loss to the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Williams was one of the keys to slowing down Kansas City's vaunted offense, as he led the Jets with a season-high 13 tackles. The fifth-year pro also recorded two pass defenses, and he leads all NFL linebackers in that category with four on the campaign. Williams is thriving in his third year with the Jets -- with 39 tackles through four weeks, he's on pace to easily surpass the career-best mark of 110 he established in 2021.
Sep 25, 2023
Nine tackles in loss
Williams had nine tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Williams was able to suit up for Week 3 after sustaining a knee injury in Week 2 against the Cowboys. The injury didn't seem to slow him down as he played in 66 of 69 defensive snaps and was behind only Jordan Whitehead and C.J. Mosley in total tackles on the day. Williams and the Jets' defense will have their hands full in Week 4 as they welcome Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs on Sunday night.
Sep 22, 2023
Good to go
Williams (knee) is absent from the Jets' final injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
After logging limited practice sessions to start the week, Williams was a full participant Friday. He appears to have shaken off the leg injury that he sustained in Week 2. Look for him to take on his usual role at outside linebacker assuming he avoids any setbacks.
Sep 17, 2023
Suffers knee injury in loss
Williams sustained a knee injury in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Cowboys, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear how significant the injury Williams suffered is, but head coach Robert Saleh said following the contest that he'll undergo further evaluation. The linebacker's status will likely be updated in the coming days.
Sep 12, 2023
Racks up 10 tackles in win
Williams had 10 tackles (nine solo), one tackle for loss and a pass defensed in Monday's 22-16 overtime win over the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Williams picked up where he left off after topping 100 tackles in each of his previous two campaigns with the Jets. The linebacker was flying around all night and played on all 69 of New York's defensive snaps.
Mar 12, 2023
Agrees to three-year deal
Williams agreed to a three-year, $18 million contract with the Jets on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams was slated to become an unrestricted free agent this week, but he'll instead remain in New York. The 26-year-old has recorded back-to-back seasons with 100-plus tackles since joining the Jets, and he logged 106 tackles (74 solo), including three sacks, and a pass defense over 15 appearances last year.
Jan 11, 2023
Back-to-back 100-tackle seasons
Williams finished the 2022 campaign with 106 tackles (74 solo), three sacks, 12 tackles for loss and one pass defensed.
ANALYSIS
What Williams lacks in coverage ability, he makes up for in stopping the run, as the 2019 third-round draft selection of the Jaguars has racked up 216 tackles in 31 games since being claimed on waivers by the Jets. Quincy will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, though his preference is to remain in New York alongside his brother Quinnen Williams.
Jan 3, 2023
Records 10 tackles again
Williams registered 10 tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 23-6 loss to the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
Williams has now reached double-digit stops in consecutive outings, as he paced both clubs with 10 stops in the Week 17 loss to Seattle. The 26-year-old is in line to continue playing heavy snaps next Sunday against Miami.
Dec 23, 2022
Ten tackles against former team
Williams had 10 tackles (six solo) -- including one tackle for loss -- in Thursday's 19-3 loss to the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
Williams posted his second double-digit tackle total of the season. He needs 24 tackles over the Jets' last two games to tie last season's career high of 110, so the former third-round draft pick of the Jaguars appears likely to fall just shy of that total.
Dec 18, 2022
Seven tackles in Week 15
Williams totaled seven tackles (five solo), including two tackles for loss, in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Williams did his best to make up for the absence of his brother Quinnen Williams (calf). Even without Quinnen generating interior pressure along the defensive line, Quincy used his anticipation to shoot the gap and stop a few rushing attempts in their tracks. The 26-year-old linebacker raised his season total to 76 tackles (54 solo) through 12 appearances.
Dec 12, 2022
Six tackles in Week 14
Williams had six solo tackles in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Williams laid a couple of his signature big hits and finished second on the team in tackles behind C.J. Mosley (nine tackles, seven solo). After breaking out with 110 tackles last season, Williams has 69 in 11 appearances this year. His decrease in tackles can counter-intuitively be chalked up to New York's holistic improvement on defense, as the Jets are significantly better at getting the opposing offense off the field than they were last season.
Nov 25, 2022
Good to go Week 12
Williams (ankle) was a full participant in practice Friday and does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams exited with an ankle injury during Sunday's loss to the Patriots, causing him to play a season-low 68 percent of his team's defensive snaps Week 11. The linebacker then participated in a limited fashion during practice Wednesday and Thursday before logging a full session Friday. As a result, expect Williams, who has accumulated 55 tackles and two sacks over eight games this season, to reprise a starting role against Chicago in Week 12.
Nov 20, 2022
Exits with injury
Williams (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Williams was previously sidelined for two straight games after sustaining a high-ankle sprain against the Bengals in Week 3, though it's unclear if he aggravated this issue at all Sunday. With the starting outside linebacker sidelined for the time being, expect Jamien Sherwood to step up into a bigger role alongside C.J. Mosley and Kwon Alexander.
Oct 16, 2022
Racks up 14 tackles in win
Williams had 14 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Williams was noticeable all night, flying from sideline to sideline to chase down runs and short passes. He notched his first double-digit tackle total of 2022 in the Week 6 win after posting four such games last season.
Oct 14, 2022
Available Sunday
Williams (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Williams missed the last two games and was limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday. However, he returned in a full capacity Friday and will be able to return to the field for Sunday's Week 6 matchup.
Oct 7, 2022
Officially ruled out
Williams (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams continues to deal with a sprained ankle and will be held out for a second consecutive game. Marcell Harris should see increased playing time once again Sunday.
Oct 5, 2022
Unlikely to play in Week 5
Williams (ankle) is considered doubtful to play in Week 5 versus the Dolphins, Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams is expected to miss a second straight game Sunday after he suffered an ankle sprain in Week 3 against the Bills. Marcell Harris will likely see an uptick in usage again in Week 5.
Sep 30, 2022
Unavailable for Week 4
Williams (ankle) has been ruled out for the Jets' Week 4 contest against the Steelers, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Williams will be a no go this weekend as he nurses a high-ankle sprain that he suffered in Week 3. The linebacker is considered week-to-week by head coach Robert Saleh and Marcell Harris and Jamien Sherwood will play larger roles in his absence.
Sep 26, 2022
'Week-to-week' with injury
Jets coach Robert Saleh said Monday that Williams is considered "week-to-week" with a high ankle sprain.
ANALYSIS
Williams had to be carted off after going down with this ankle injury against the Bengals on Sunday, leaving his status up in the air for the next few weeks. The fourth-year linebacker recorded 18 tackles and one sack while playing 158 defensive snaps over the Jets' first three games this season. Should Williams miss time, Marcell Harris and Jamien Sherwood figure to see increased roles in Week 4 against Pittsburgh.
Sep 26, 2022
Tests reveal sprain
Williams (ankle) appears to have an ankle sprain, as X-rays on the injury he suffered in Week 3 against the Bengals came back negative, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The Jets feared a broken ankle, so this is positive news, even if Williams will still likely miss a few weeks as a result of the sprained ankle. He'll most likely be absent when the Jets begin practicing ahead of their Week 4 trip to Pittsburgh.
Sep 25, 2022
Doubtful to return
Williams (ankle) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Bengals, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams left Sunday's contest against Cincinnati on a cart with an apparent ankle injury, after he totaled seven tackles. In his absence, fellow linebackers Jamien Sherwood and Marcell Harris are candidates to take on an expanded role for the remainder of the day.
Sep 11, 2022
Gets third career sack
Williams had six tackles, all solo, and a sack in Sunday's 24-9 loss to the Ravens.
ANALYSIS
Williams finished second on the team behind C.J. Mosley in tackles, as it was a busy afternoon for New York's linebackers. The sack was only the third of Williams' career, as he had two with the Jets last season after going 18 games without one for Jacksonville to begin his career.
Jan 14, 2022
Has 110 tackles in breakout season
Williams finished with 110 tackles (73 solo), two sacks, five passes defensed and three forced fumbles in 2021.
ANALYSIS
Williams didn't make much of an impact over his first two NFL campaigns as a member of the Jaguars, but he found a home alongside his brother Quinnen with the Jets in his third NFL season. The pair made history when both recorded a sack in the Week 4 win over the Titans, becoming the first set of brothers to do so for one team in the same game since sacks became an official stat in 1982. Williams played a three-down role this season due to the Jets' lack of depth at linebacker, but his lackluster coverage skills could lead to Williams being subbed off more on third down in 2022 if New York addresses the linebacker position in the offseason.
Dec 19, 2021
Closing in on milestone
Williams totaled 11 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Williams is closing in on the 100-tackle mark this season. He needs six tackles to get there in Week 16, and Williams will have some extra motivation to do so against the Jaguars team that selected the linebacker in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft but subsequently waived him in August of this year.
Dec 13, 2021
Tallies eight stops
Williams recorded eight tackles and one pass defended in Sundays' 30-9 loss to the Saints.
ANALYSIS
Williams continued to serve a significant role for the Jets defense, remaining on the field for 91 percent of snaps. He has now racked up at least seven stops in each of his last four games, including two double-digit tackle efforts. Williams has 83 total tackles on the season, good for second on the team behind only C.J. Mosley.
Dec 6, 2021
Has 35 tackles in last three games
Williams racked up 13 tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 33-18 loss to Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Williams and C.J. Mosley racked up 13 tackles apiece in another busy afternoon for the Jets' linebacker corps. Of Williams' 74 tackles in 11 games this season, 35 have come over the past three.
Dec 3, 2021
Full practice Friday
Williams (calf) was able to be a full participant at practice Friday.
ANALYSIS
The linebacker came into the week a little banged up with a calf injury he sustained in Week 12 against the Texans, but he has ramped up his activity at practice each day and appears to be on track to play Sunday versus the Eagles. Williams has racked up 62 tackles on the season with 22 of them coming over the last two contests.
Nov 29, 2021
Not expected to miss time
Coach Robert Saleh said Monday that Williams (calf) is expected to be a full go this week, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams suffered the calf injury Sunday against the Texans, but it doesn't appear to be a serious issue. The 25-year-old's participation at practice later in the week should provide a better idea of his availability heading into Week 13.
Nov 28, 2021
Picks up calf injury
Williams (calf) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Texans, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams was having a good game for the Jets as he had four tackles (one solo) and a sack before departing. Jarrad Davis should take over for him while he gets checked out.
Nov 21, 2021
Tackling machine in Week 11
Williams totaled a game-high 15 tackles (10 solo), including two tackles for loss, in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Williams flew around the field en route to a new career high in tackles. His previous best of 12 came in Week 4 of this season. Williams can be a liability in defending the pass, but his north-south game and effectiveness against the run have allowed him to carve out a prominent role in New York's underwhelming linebacker corps.
Oct 29, 2021
Clears concussion protocol
Williams has cleared concussion protocols and doesn't have an injury designation heading into Sunday's contest against the Bengals, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Williams will likely be available for Week 8. The 25-year-old linebacker had to leave the Jets' Week 7 loss to the Patriots early, ending his four-game streak of at least six-plus tackles. He will look to get back on track against Joe Burrow and the Bengals on Sunday.
Oct 29, 2021
Likely available for Week 8
Williams (concussion) is coming out of concussion protocol and should be available for Sunday's contest against the Bengals, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams hasn't officially cleared concussion protocols, but he appears to be progressing well enough for the Jets to assume he will be available Sunday. The 25-year-old linebacker had to leave New York's Week 7 loss to the Patriots early, ending his four-game streak of least 6-plus tackles. He will look to get back on track against Joe Burrow and the Bengals in Week 8.
Oct 25, 2021
Concussion confirmed
Williams has been diagnosed with a concussion, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams sustained the injury in Sunday's loss to the Patriots and will need to clear concussion protocol before he can suit up moving forward. Quinnen Williams' brother has been a pleasant surprise for the Jets, but Quincy's status for New York's Week 8 clash with Cincinnati is murky. Further updates on Williams' status should surface once the Jets start practicing this week.
Oct 24, 2021
Might have suffered concussion
Williams (head) is being evaluated for a possible concussion.
ANALYSIS
There's no clarity on whether Williams would be able to return to action or not, but he'd have to be cleared by an independent doctor to receive permission to return per the league's protocol. If he can't return, then the Jets' secondary would get even more depleted -- and someone like Noah Dawkins might be in line to gain more playing time.
Oct 13, 2021
Forces two fumbles abroad
Williams notched eight tackles (five solo) and two forced fumbles during Sunday's loss to the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
Williams as 20 total tackles in his last two games, so by this point he's made a convincing argument to be trusted in IDP fantasy lineups. The third-year pro has played more than 90 percent of defensive snaps in all four of his appearances this season.

Twelve tackles against Titans
Williams racked up 12 tackles (10 solo), a sack and two tackles for loss in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Williams looked like he was shot out of a cannon, delivering a number of massive hits, including one that came inches from stuffing Derrick Henry short of the line to gain on fourth down in overtime. The Jets might have found a diamond in the rough in Quinnen Williams' unheralded brother, as Quincy has totaled 23 tackles over the last three games.

Back from injured reserve
Williams (abdomen) was reinstated from injured reserve on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old landed on injured reserve ahead of the season opener but is now fully clear of the abdominal injury. Williams had 48 tackles in 11 games as a rookie last season and could compete with Cassius Marsh for reps at strongside linebacker.

Pegged to return from IR
Williams (abdomen) has been designated to return from injured reserve, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams has missed the first three games of the season but could return for Sunday's matchup against the Bengals. He'll be monitored throughout the practice week to see how the injury responds. The 2019 third-round pick has a good chance to reclaim the starting strong-side linebacker role upon return, and he'll look to build on last year's 48-tackle output through 11 contests.

Moves to injured reserve
The Jaguars placed Williams (abdomen) on injured reserve Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
The Jaguars promoted Mike Glennon to the active roster in a corresponding move. Williams has been dealing with an abdomen issue since mid-August. The 2019 third-round pick will be eligible to retake the field after spending a minimum of three weeks on IR.
Aug 13, 2020
Dealing with abdomen injury
Williams is out indefinitely with a core muscle injury, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.
ANALYSIS
The language hints at a serious issue, perhaps something that might require surgery. The 2019 third-round pick had 48 tackles as a rookie last year, starting eight of his 11 games before a hand injury sent him to injured reserve in December. The Jaguars signed Joe Schobert in the offseason to join Myles Jack at linebacker, likely pushing Williams to a part-time role -- or maybe just special teams -- once he's healthy. PFFs grading put Williams 89th out of 91 qualified linebackers last year, and Jack (T-79th) didn't fare much better.

Set for reserve role
Williams (hand) is expected to fill a backup role in 2020, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2019 third-round pick had a forgettable rookie campaign and totaled 48 tackles in 11 games before landing on injured reserve in December. The offseason additions of Joe Schobert and Cassius Marsh are an attempt to shore up Jacksonville's linebacking corps, which leaves Williams to fill a reserve role.
Sep 8, 2019
Returns after halftime
Williams (knee) returned to Sunday's game versus the Chiefs, Phillip Heilman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams was evaluated in the locker room, and he returned to the field after halftime. The rookie third-round pick slotted back into his weakside linebacker position.
Sep 8, 2019
Leaves with knee injury
Williams (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game versus the Chiefs, Hays Carlyon of 1010 AM WJXL reports.
ANALYSIS
Williams suffered a torn meniscus in training camp, but he was cleared before the season opener. It's unclear if this injury is related. The rookie third-round pick looked solid through the first half of his NFL debut, making three solo tackles -- one for a loss.
Sep 2, 2019
Cleared for Week 1
Williams (knee) is a full-go for Week 1 against the Chiefs, Phillip Heilman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite having meniscus surgery early in training camp, the rookie third-round pick was listed as the starting weak-side linebacker on Jacksonville's depth chart throughout the preseason. Williams should have a significant Week 1 role, but it isn't clear if he'll be an every-down player. Starting mike linebacker Myles Jacks remains the safe bet for three-down usage and IDP value in Jacksonville.
Aug 28, 2019
Sees individual work
Williams (knee) practiced on an individual basis Tuesday, Phillip Heilman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Tuesday's individual work is Williams' first practice participation since he underwent surgery to address a partially torn meniscus Aug. 1. It remains to be seen whether the rookie first-round pick will make his preseason debut Thursday against Atlanta. If Williams continues to progress well in his recovery, he could take the field for Jacksonville's regular-season opener against the Chiefs.
