Williams (tibia) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams was unable to play in the Rams' Week 14 win over the Cardinals due to a tibia injury, but his ability to practice in full Wednesday puts him on track to return against the Lions on Sunday. Ahkello Witherspoon and Josh Wallace will likely see their defensive snaps cut, assuming Williams is cleared to play Week 15.

Williams (lower leg) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams was doubtful coming into the weekend after failing to practice all week, and his inactive status is now official. With the veteran cornerback unavailable, Ahkello Witherspoon is projected to step into the starting right cornerback spot against a Cardinals air attack missing Marvin Harrison (heel), Greg Dortch (IR, chest) and Xavier Weaver (hamstring).

Williams (lower leg) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite head coach Sean McVay telling reporters Wednesday that he expects Williams to play in Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, he likely won't suit up. The UAB product has appeared in 10 games this season, recording 22 total tackles and eight passes defensed, including one interception. If Williams is sidelined as expected in Week 14, expect Ahkello Witherspoon to play a larger role in the Rams' secondary.

Williams (shoulder) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
The starting cornerback was a limited participant Wednesday. Williams suffered the injury in Week 7 against the Jaguars and sat out Week 9 versus the Saints, even with the bye in between. Now that he's back at practice, he should be trending toward a return this Sunday against the 49ers.

Williams (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams is still working his way back from the shoulder injury that he suffered in Week 7 against the Jaguars and has sidelined him since. The cornerback is trending towards returning to action Sunday against the 49ers, with head coach Sean McVay saying that "the hope and optimism" is that Williams will be active, per Cameron DaSilva of USA Today. Williams will have two more chances to log a full practice before the end of the week and officially leave behind the shoulder issue.

Rams head coach Sean McVay said Wednesday that "the plan we had in place" is for Williams (shoulder) to return to the lineup Sunday against the 49ers, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams hasn't played since Week 7 due to a shoulder injury McVay called a "little setback," but it appears the starting cornerback is trending toward a Week 10 return. McVay said "the hope and optimism" is that Williams will suit up on the road against San Francisco on Sunday. With Ahkello Witherspoon (collarbone) on IR and not expected to return until at least December, Williams' return to the field will represent a notable boost for Los Angeles' defense.

Williams (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
Williams was limited in practice all week due to a shoulder issue, and the injury is severe enough for the veteran corner to sit out of Sunday's contest. Emmanuel Forbes, Josh Wallace and recent acquisition Roger McCreary are candidates to start at outside corner opposite Cobie Durant in Williams' absence.

Williams (shoulder) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 32-year-old practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday and Thursday, but it now appears that his shoulder injury will keep him on the sidelines in Week 9. Williams has appeared in six games for the Rams this season, recording 14 total tackles and seven passes defended. If he's out Sunday as expected, Josh Wallace will likely operate as one of Los Angeles' top outside corners.
