Williams

They’re just shuffling in different practice depth. Williams, a sixth-round pick out of UConn last year, missed his rookie season with a torn ACL.

A 2011 sixth-round pick, Williams is recovering from his second torn ACL in as many years. He’ll look for practice-squad work once he’s back to full health.

Williams suffered a torn ACL in Week 15 versus the Chargers. A sixth-round pick out of UConn last year, Williams also missed his rookie season with a torn ACL. It’s not clear yet if the injury is to the same knee. Hayworth Hicks was signed off the Bucs’ practice squad to take Williams’ roster spot.

Williams received an East-West Shrine invite and ran a 5.27 forty at the Combine with a 30" vertical and 28 reps on the bench. He is considered a mauler, but lacks the ideal size of a guard (6'3/307), and may have to convert to center in the pros. The Panthers have had a pretty unimpressive draft to date, and we have no reason to believe that Williams is going to save it.

Williams, a sixth-round pick this year, tore his ACL in practice earlier this month. He’s a low-level prospect that was likely headed for the practice squad.

He’ll undergo surgery on September 1. A two-year starter at Washington State, Williams saw action at both guard and center for the Cougars. He was a candidate for the practice squad before suffering the injury.
