Williams (shoulder) was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game versus the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

Williams sustained a shoulder injury in the first half that will sideline him for the remainder of the Ravens' season opener. The exact nature and severity of this issue are still unknown, leaving the safety's status up in the air for the Week 2 road matchup versus Cincinnati on Sunday, Sept. 17.

Williams (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game versus the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

Williams collected four tackles (three solo) before sustaining a shoulder injury at some point during the first half. The seventh-year safety was a major contributor when healthy for Baltimore last season, totaling 61 tackles, eight passes defended and four interceptions across just 10 games. With Williams sidelined, Brandon Stephens and Geno Stone will likely step up into bigger roles alongside starting strong safety Kyle Hamilton.

Williams posted nine tackles (five solo) and one pass defense during Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

Williams tied Roquan Smith with nine tackles, which was good for second on the team behind Chuck Clark. Across nine appearances, Williams has totaled 54 tackles, seven pass defenses, four interceptions and one fumble recovery.

The Ravens activated Williams (wrist) from injured reserve Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams suffered a wrist injury Week 5 that sidelined him on IR until he was designated to return to practice Nov. 23. While he was activated in time to play against Denver in Week 13, he now appears set to reprise a starting role in the Ravens' previously undermanned secondary. Williams recorded 33 tackles, five passes defended and three interceptions before going down in Week 5, and he should return to his every-down role alongside Chuck Clark on Sunday.

Head coach John Harbaugh said Friday that Williams (wrist) won't be activated off injured reserve for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams is now slated to miss his seventh contest in a row due to the dislocated wrist he suffered back in Week 5. The 26-year-old was designated to return from injured reserve Nov. 23, and though he won't suit up this weekend, coach Harbaugh noted that Williams could be in play for Baltimore's divisional matchup in Pittsburgh the following week, per Hensley. As for this Sunday, Geno Stone and Chuck Clark are expected to continue operating as the team's two starting safeties.

Williams (wrist) has been designated to return from injured reserve and will practice Wednesday, Clifton Brown of the Ravens' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams has been on IR since dislocating his wrist in Week 5, but with the move, the Ravens open a 21-day window for the safety to be added to the active roster. When available, Williams figures to garner a prominent role in Baltimore's injury-depleted secondary.

Head coach John Harbaugh said Tuesday that he is hopeful to have Williams (wrist) back in December, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams dislocated his wrist in Week 5 against the Bengals, and he was placed on IR the next day, Oct. 10. Although no official timetable for his return was given at the time, he wasn't expected to miss the remainder of the season, so a December return makes sense. The veteran safety's eventual return will certainly be a boon to the team's defense, which has dealt with numerous injuries this season.

The Ravens placed Williams (wrist) on injured reserve Monday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams dislocated his wrist during Sunday's primetime win over the Bengals and will be sidelined for at least four games after landing on injured reserve. It's possible Williams misses even more time, but Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said the issue shouldn't be season ending. In Williams' absence, expect Geno Stone, who replaced Williams in Week 5, to step into a starting role.

Williams suffered a dislocated wrist in Sunday's Week 5 win over the Bengals, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official website reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams is expected to miss a "significant" amount of time following the wrist injury, according to head coach John Harbaugh. It's a big blow for the Ravens' secondary after the safety posted 33 tackles, five pass deflections and three interceptions while recovering a fumble over the first five weeks. In his absence, rookie Kyle Hamilton will likely step into a starting role.

Williams (wrist) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Bengals.

EDGE Analysis

The Ravens announced Williams' wrist injury shortly after halftime Sunday and classified him as doubtful to return, so it isn't very surprising to see him downgraded to out. His next chance to return will be next Sunday against the Giants.
