Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald announced Friday that Williams (personal) has decided to retire, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams was away from the team during practice this week, and Macdonald relayed that Williams' decision came down to "personal reasons. We respect that, wish him the best, and we've got to move forward," per John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site. Williams signed a one-year deal with Seattle in early August after suffering a torn ACL in December of 2023 while playing with Miami. Williams served as the Seahawks' starting center for the first nine games of the regular season, but now that he's decided to step aside, Olusegun Oluwatimi is the top candidate to take over at center.

Williams signed a one-year, $3 million contract with the Seahawks on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams suffered a torn ACL in December, but he passed a physical and began talking to teams July 24. The 27-year-old should be an upgrade for Seattle's offensive line and the favorite to be the team's new starting center in 2024.

Williams (knee) passed a physical administered by the Seahawks on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams ended last season on the Dolphins' injured reserve after sustaining a torn ACL in Week 14 against the Titans. Williams is in negotiations with the Seahawks after passing his physical, and while the two sides are working on a deal, the veteran lineman is still speaking with other teams, per Schefter.

Williams (knee) expects to be ready for the start of the 2024 season and plans to sign with a team before the start of training camp, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams sustained a torn ACL in December and finished out the 2023 campaign on Miami's injured reserve. The 27-year-old center started 26 games over the past two seasons with the Dolphins, though he battled injuries and appeared in just nine contests last season. Williams will likely look to sign with a team in need of interior offensive line depth this offseason.

Williams (knee) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Williams suffered a torn ACL in Monday's loss to the Titans and had already been ruled out for the remainder of the season. Liam Eichenberg (calf) is expected to take over at center, but he is one of many Miami offensive linemen currently suffering from an injury, so it may ultimately be Jonotthan Harrison, who was signed from the practice squad Wednesday starting at center against the Jets on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis
Williams had missed four games with a groin issue earlier in the year, and he now won't be able to return until next season after suffering a torn ACL on Monday night. Liam Eichenberg, who's started eight games at multiple positions on the Dolphins' offensive line in 2023, is expected to assume the starting center duties for the remainder of the season.

Williams (groin) is active ahead of Sunday's game against New England.
EDGE Analysis
The Dolphins get Williams back this Sunday, as the 26-year-old lineman had missed the team's last two games with a lingering groin issue. He should reclaim his spot as Miami's starting center.
