Williams had nine tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Patriots.
Williams was able to suit up for Week 3 after sustaining a knee injury in Week 2 against the Cowboys. The injury didn't seem to slow him down, as he played in 66 of 69 defensive snaps and was behind only Jordan Whitehead and C.J. Mosley in total tackles on the day. Williams and the Jets defense will have their hands full in Week 4 as they welcome Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs on Sunday night.

Jets' Quincy Williams: Good to go
Rotowire
Williams (knee) is absent from the Jets' final injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Patriots.
After logging limited practice sessions to start the week, Williams was a full participant Friday. He appears to have shaken off the leg injury that he sustained in Week 2. Look for him to take on his usual role at outside linebacker assuming he avoids any setbacks.
Williams finished the 2022 campaign with 106 tackles (74 solo), three sacks, 12 tackles for loss and one pass defensed.
What Williams lacks in coverage ability, he makes up for in stopping the run, as the 2019 third-round draft selection of the Jaguars has racked up 216 tackles in 31 games since being claimed on waivers by the Jets. Quincy will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, though his preference is to remain in New York alongside his brother Quinnen Williams.

Jets' Quincy Williams: Ten tackles against former team
Rotowire
Williams had 10 tackles (six solo) -- including one tackle for loss -- in Thursday's 19-3 loss to the Jaguars.
Williams posted his second double-digit tackle total of the season. He needs 24 tackles over the Jets' last two games to tie last season's career high of 110, so the former third-round draft pick of the Jaguars appears likely to fall just shy of that total.

Jets' Quincy Williams: Good to go Week 12
Rotowire
Williams (ankle) was a full participant in practice Friday and does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Williams exited with an ankle injury during Sunday's loss to the Patriots, causing him to play a season-low 68 percent of his team's defensive snaps Week 11. The linebacker then participated in a limited fashion during practice Wednesday and Thursday before logging a full session Friday. As a result, expect Williams, who has accumulated 55 tackles and two sacks over eight games this season, to reprise a starting role against Chicago in Week 12.

Jets' Quincy Williams: Closing in on milestone
Rotowire
Williams totaled 11 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Dolphins.
Williams is closing in on the 100-tackle mark this season. He needs six tackles to get there in Week 16, and Williams will have some extra motivation to do so against the Jaguars team that selected the linebacker in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft but subsequently waived him in August of this year.

Rotowire
Williams (calf) was able to be a full participant at practice Friday.

Rotowire
Williams racked up 12 tackles (10 solo), a sack and two tackles for loss in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Titans.
Williams looked like he was shot out of a cannon, delivering a number of massive hits, including one that came inches from stuffing Derrick Henry short of the line to gain on fourth down in overtime.
