Rotowire
Williams had two tackles, an interception and two passes defensed in Monday's 16-14 loss to the Raiders.

Williams played a full game Monday, while Greg Newsome (concussion) was unavailable for a second straight week.

Browns' Greedy Williams: Practices on Monday
Rotowire
Williams (shoulder) returned to practice Monday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
After sitting out practice the last two weeks, it's encouraging that Williams has returned to the team ahead of Week 3's matchup versus Washington. It sounds like Williams has a good chance to return, but it'll be worth monitoring his practice status as the week progresses. However, coach Kevin Stefanski wouldn't commit to Williams starting once he's ready, as Terrance Mitchell has apparently shown enough to possibly retain his starting role, according to Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal.
