Williams (hand) recorded 83 tackles (45 solo), including 3.5 sacks, and seven passes defensed across 13 appearances in 2025.

EDGE Analysis

Williams fell short of 100 tackles for the first time in five seasons with the Jets as injuries and age took their toll on the 29-year-old linebacker. He dealt with shoulder and hand injuries throughout the season and exited the regular-season finale as the latter injury flared up on him. The Jets traded away Quincy's brother Quinnen Williams during the 2025 season and are unlikely to retain the remaining Williams brother in free agency.

Williams (hand) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Bills.

EDGE Analysis

Williams suffered an apparent hand injury in the third quarter, and his status for the rest of the game is now in question. In his absence, Mykal Walker is a top candidate to see increased reps at linebacker versus Buffalo.

Williams recorded six tackles (five solo) in the Jets' loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Williams played 96 percent of the defensive snaps against New England and has now logged 80 tackles (42 solo), including 3.5 sacks, and six pass breakups on 91 percent of the defensive snaps across 12 appearances this season.

Williams finished Sunday's loss to New Orleans with 11 tackles (six solo).

EDGE Analysis

Williams and Jamien Sherwood co-led the Jets in stops in defeat. The 11-tackle tally was a season best for Williams, whose previous high mark on the campaign was eight stops. It's been a down year overall for Williams, and with 74 tackles through 11 games, it seems likely that he'll fall short of triple-digit stops for the first time since 2020.

Williams (hand) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams managed to upgrade to full practice participation Friday, just in time to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's contest.

Williams (hand) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams' upgrade in participation bodes well for his chances to be able to suit up for Sunday's contest against the Jaguars. The outside linebacker has one more practice to prove he should be free of an injury designation, and it may be key that he is. The Jets' linebacker corps is littered with injuries, and with Francisco Mauigoa (neck) also listed as questionable, Kobe King is the sole outside linebacker who is guaranteed to be ready for Sunday.

Williams (hand) did not practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Williams likely picked up the injury during the Jets' 34-10 loss to the Dolphins this past Sunday, when he logged seven tackles (two solo, including 1.0 sacks, while playing every single defensive snap. The veteran linebacker will have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation ahead of this Sunday's road tilt against the Jaguars.

Williams recorded seven tackles (two solo) and 1.0 sacks in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins.

EDGE Analysis

Williams now has 3.5 sacks this season, marking a career high in the category through just nine games. The 29-year-old linebacker has averaged just 6.5 tackles per game, which leaves a low floor for fantasy purposes, but it should help that he has played all but one defensive snap over the last three weeks.

Williams logged six tackles (three solo) during the Jets' 23-10 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Williams was one of three Jets players to play every single defensive snap during Sunday's loss, and he finished tied for the second-most tackles on the team behind Jamien Sherwood (13). In the four games since returning from injured reserve due to a shoulder injury, Williams has accumulated 29 tackles (17 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two pass defenses.

Williams recorded eight total tackles (six solo) in Thursday night's 27-14 loss to the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

The Murray State product tied Jarvis Brownlee, Jamien Sherwood and Brandon Stephens for the most stops on the Jets' defense during Thursday's loss. Since returning from injury in the Week 8 win over the Bengals, Williams has tallied 23 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and two passes defended over just three contests. He's expected to remain a viable IDP option in the Jets' Week 12 matchup against the Ravens.
