Williams (foot) practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Williams wasn't able to practice at all last week as he's been dealing with a case of plantar fasciitis, so his return to the field, in any capacity, offers hope that he could return to action Sunday against the Texans. How Williams' foot responds to the work he put in Wednesday will no doubt offer added context with regard to his Week 8 availability. With that in mind, we'll revisit the wideout's status no later than Thursday.

Williams (foot) will practice Wednesday, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams has been sidelined since Week 4 while recovering from a bout of plantar fasciitis. The extent of Williams' participation in the session won't be known until the Raiders reveal their first injury report of Week 8 later Wednesday, but the 27-year-old looks to be making progress. When Williams is able to play without significant limitations, he'll resume operating as the clear No. 1 wide receiver in Oakland's offense.

Williams (foot) won't play Sunday against the Packers, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Williams -- who is dealing with a case of plantar fasciitis -- still sidelined even after the Raiders' bye week, look for the team's Week 7 wideout corps to be led by Trevor Davis, Keelan Doss and Hunter Renfrow, with Marcell Ateman and the newly acquired Zay Jones also in the mix. None of those wideout represent particularly appealing fantasy targets, but it's worth noting that Davis paced Oakland's wide receivers with four catches for 42 yards in the Week 5 win over the Bears.

Williams (heel) isn't taking part in Thursday's practice, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams' absence from practice for the second straight day doesn't come as much of a surprise after coach Jon Gruden said Wednesday that the wideout was still bothered by plantar fasciitis coming out of a Week 6 bye. Unless Williams demonstrates some progress and is able to log some on-field work Friday to keep hope alive for an appearance this weekend, the Raiders are likely to rely on Hunter Renfrow, Trevor Davis, Keelan Doss and Zay Jones as their primary receivers Sunday in Green Bay.

Coach Jon Gruden revealed Wednesday that Williams has a case of plantar fasciitis, Scott Bair of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams sat out Week 5 due to an undisclosed foot injury, and even after the Raiders' bye, he didn't make an appearance at practice Wednesday, according to Vic Tafur of The Athletic. Afterward, Gruden revealed the reason for Williams' continued absence, which seemingly could extend for some time. Aside from Williams, Dwayne Harris (ankle) was listed as limited on Wednesday's injury report, leaving five health players (Hunter Renfrow, Zay Jones, Trevor Davis, Keelan Doss and Marcell Ateman) in the Raiders' receiving corps at the moment.

Williams (foot) isn't practicing Wednesday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams hasn't seemed to make any tangible progress in his recovery from the foot injury during Oakland's bye week and is looking iffy for Sunday's game in Green Bay. His availability for the contest will likely be determined by the extent of his participation in practice Thursday and Friday. If Williams is unable to go Week 7, the Raiders will be forced to make do with the likes of Hunter Renfrow, Zay Jones, Dwayne Harris (ankle) and Trevor Davis at receiver.

Williams (foot) was present for the Raiders' practice Monday but looked to be a non-participant, Scott Bair of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Raiders won't reveal their first injury report of Week 7 until Wednesday, but Williams' lack of activity during Monday's session suggests the Raiders' recent bye week wasn't enough for him to fully overcome the foot issue. If Williams doesn't gain active status for Sunday's game in Green Bay, the Raiders would be down to a green receiver room that counts recent pickup Zay Jones (90 career receptions) as its most established member.

Williams (foot) is inactive for Sunday's Week 5 tilt against the Bears in London.

EDGE Analysis

Williams was trending downward earlier in the weekend, and his inactive status is now confirmed. With fellow wideouts J.J. Nelson (knee) and Dwayne Harris (ankle) also on the shelf Sunday, the Raiders are down to a top receiver trio of rookie Hunter Renfrow, Keelan Doss and Trevor Davis against a ferocious Bears defense. Tight end Darren Waller may be in line for a bump in his already massive workload as a result, but quarterback Derek Carr's prospects, already shaky to start with versus Chicago, become downright grim in the wake of the multiple absences.

Williams (foot), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, is viewed as a "longshot" to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Raiders will presumably put Williams through a pregame workout before deciding on his fate, but it doesn't sound like the team expects him to demonstrate enough progress to get the green light to play. If that's the case, a weak Raiders passing attack would likely become more reliant on tight end Darren Waller, while receivers J.J. Nelson (knee) and Hunter Renfrow may also notice heightened roles.

Williams (foot) is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears in London, Scott Bair of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams was a non-participant at practice throughout the week, but the questionable tag leaves him with a chance to play Week 5. The 27-year-old has 17 receptions for 216 yards and four touchdowns -- one in each game -- this season, but the Bears present a daunting matchup should he be cleared to suit up. The Raiders could have their depth at wide receiver tested Sunday with J.J. Nelson (knee) and Dwayne Harris (ankle) also questionable.
