Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said Tuesday that Williams is recovering from a high-ankle sprain and should be ready to return from injured reserve when first eligible Week 5, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Williams wasn't known to have sustained an injury during training camp or the preseason before he landed on injured reserve Sunday, but Gutekunst's comments provided some clarity on the matter. Assuming that the second-year wideout bounces back from the high-ankle sprain as anticipated, he should be ready to make his 2026 debut Oct. 11 versus the Bears. With Christian Watson, Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden locked in as Green Bay's top three receivers, Williams is unlikely to run many routes when all of those players are fully healthy, but he could have a small role on offense as a gadget player in addition to serving as the team's top kickoff returner.
The Packers placed Williams (undisclosed) on injured reserve Sunday with a designation to return, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.

Everyone sharing the ball with Savion, most valuable first.

Williams, who finished last postseason sidelined due to a foot injury, is in line to see more opportunity in 2026 following the trade of Dontayvion Wicks to the Eagles on Friday, Rob Demovsky and Adam Schefter of ESPN report.
Williams, a 2025 third-round pick out of TCU, played in 12 regular-season games last season, missing five of the last six contests of the campaign before also sitting out Green Bay's playoff loss to the Bears. Williams' primary contributions came as a returner, as he compiled 717 kickoff-return yards at 25.6 yards per runback. Williams also posted a 10-78-1 receiving line on 10 targets, and although Christian Watson, Jayden Reed and Matthew Golden are firmly entrenched in the top three receiver spots, Williams could have the inside track to the No. 4 job with Wicks out of town.
Williams (foot) finished the 2025 regular season with 10 catches (on 10 targets) for 78 yards and a touchdown and added 11 carries for 37 yards in 12 games.
