Williams was carted off the field after injuring his left knee during practice Sunday, Jane Slater of NFL Network reports.
Williams went down in a lot of pain after coming off a block during a drill, and after staying on the ground for several minutes, he was eventually helped onto a cart by teammates and medical staff. It looks to be a brutal blow for Williams, who showed improvement in his second year in the NFL, as he finished 2023 with 26 tackles (15 solo), including 4.5 sacks and one forced fumble while playing all 17 regular-season games. The 2022 second-round pick out of Ole Miss was set to provide crucial depth at edge rusher behind DeMarcus Lawrence and Micah Parsons after Dorance Armstrong signed with the Commanders in free agency.
