Carolina agreed to terms with Williams (knee) on a contract Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams is set to re-join new Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, who held the same role with the Broncos last season. Over 17 regular-season games, the 30-year-old defensive tackle logged career highs in sacks (4.5) and defensive snaps (565) to go along with 37 tackles during his third campaign with Denver in 2022. Williams now figures to provide valuable depth alongside younger defensive tackles Derrick Brown and Shy Tuttle in Carolina.

WIlliams suffered a knee injury during Sunday's game against the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Prior to his exit in the second half, Williams had yet to make a mark in the box score. As long as Williams is sidelined, Matt Henningsen and Elijah Garcia should experience some extra run along the Broncos defensive line.
