Williams is dealing with a foot injury and will undergo further evaluation, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It appears Williams sustained this injury during Week 16's game versus the Saints, when he posted five solo tackles. The Steelers are in must-win territory, so they'll benefit greatly if their starting inside linebacker can shake his injury before the season finale versus the Bengals.

Williams had just one tackle (solo) during Sunday's 24-21 loss to Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

Entering the contest as the team leader, Williams had his fewest tackles in a game since 2016. With 68 tackles on the season he now trails Sean Davis by one. He'll look to reclaim the top spot on defense against the Patriots in Week 15. In his last game against New England Williams had three tackles and an interception.

Williams recorded 10 tackles (six solo) including a sack during their 20-16 win against Jacksonville.

EDGE Analysis

The 10 tackles were the most in a game for Williams since Week 1, and he has now been involved in sacking opposing quarterbacks in four of his last five games. Pittsburgh has a six-game winning streak during which the defense has held opponents to 21 or fewer points in each game. They face Denver -- which averages 23 points per game -- in Week 11.

Williams had four tackles (three solo) including a half sack during Sunday's 23-16 win over Baltimore.

EDGE Analysis

Although he is among the team leaders in tackles Williams has managed just 1.5 sacks this season, a huge drop from the 11.5 sacks in recorded in 2017. While Pittsburgh's defense has played well as a whole, Williams has been a bit of a disappointment. The Steelers play on Thursday in Week 10 and lead the series against the Panthers 5-1-0, winning the last five meetings.

Williams led the defense with seven tackles (six solo) including a sack during Sunday's 28-21 win over Cincinnati.

EDGE Analysis

The Steelers had three sacks in the game including the first of the season for Williams, who had a career-high eight sacks last year. He also has 36 tackles to trail Jon Bostic by one for the team lead heading in to a Week 7 bye.

Williams (hamstring) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams' practice without limitation suggests he's in line to play in Sunday's game against the Bengals. Barring any setbacks, Williams figures to slide back into his role at starting inside linebacker.

Williams (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's Week 5 tilt against the Falcons.

EDGE Analysis

The Steelers will be without one of their starting interior linebackers against the high-powered Falcons offense, one that will commemorate the return of Devonta Freeman to action following a knee injury.

Williams (hamstring) is considered doubtful for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Teresa Varley of Steelers.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams was unable to practice all week after suffering a hamstring injury during Sunday night's loss to the Ravens. His potential availability for Week 5 doesn't look too promising, so a combination of L.J. Fort, Matthew Thomas and Tyler Matakevich could see additional snaps at inside linebacker next to Jon Bostic.

Williams (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, Chris Adamski of Triblive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams suffered a hamstring injury during Pittsburgh's Week 4 loss to the Ravens, and has not participated in practice since. The starting linebacker should be considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, and if Williams were to miss any time it would mean an uptick in snaps for L.J. Fort, Tyler Matakevich and Matthew Thomas.

Williams recorded 12 tackles (four solo) across 88 defensive snaps in Sunday's 21-21 tie with the Browns.

EDGE Analysis

Williams got off to a solid start Sunday, recording a double-digit tackle count for the first time since Week 4 of the 2016 season. He'll look to keep up the level of play Sunday against the Chiefs and their high-flying offense.
