Packers' Savion Williams: Placed on injured reserve
Rotowire
The Packers placed Williams (foot/illness) on injured reserve Saturday.
Williams was unable to practice for consecutive days in Week 18, and the wide receiver will officially need to miss at least four contests while he resides on IR. If the Packers can advance to the Super Bowl, Williams may be able to return for the game. The rookie third-rounder amassed 10 receptions for 78 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets while adding 11 rush attempts for 37 yards on the ground over 12 regular-season outings.

Packers' Savion Williams: Unavailable for Week 18
Rotowire
Williams (foot/illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Williams missed the final two practices of Week 18 prep due to a foot injury and an illness. The rookie third-rounder will end up missing the last two games of the regular season and will aim to be available for the wild-card round of the playoffs. If the Packers end up resting or limiting top wide receivers during Sunday's regular-season finale, then fellow rookie Matthew Golden and Bo Melton would be in line for more opportunities on offense, though they'll be catching passes from Clayton Tune rather than Jordan Love.

Packers' Savion Williams: Unable to practice
Rotowire
Williams (foot/illness) did not participate at practice Thursday.
Williams took a step backwards Thursday after opening the week as a limited participant Wednesday. The wide receiver was unavailable for the team's Week 17 loss to the Ravens, and he's now potentially trending towards another absence Sunday against the Vikings. Williams will have one more chance to practice Friday and ultimately suit up for the Packers' regular-season finale.

Packers' Savion Williams: Records limited practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Williams (foot/illness) participated in practice in a limited fashion Wednesday.
Williams missed last Saturday's loss to Baltimore due to a foot injury and an illness, but he seems to have a chance of returning to action Sunday in Minnesota. It's possible the illness was the primary cause of the rookie's absence against the Ravens, as he's been dealing with the foot issue for some time and was deemed healthy throughout last week before he was deemed questionable to play because of the illness. The Packers are slated to rest multiple starters this Sunday since they are locked into the No. 7 playoff seed in the NFC, so Williams could have a larger role on offense than usual if he's able to suit up.

Packers' Savion Williams: Sitting out Saturday
Rotowire
Williams (foot/illness) is inactive for Saturday's game versus the Ravens, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Williams was listed as full on all three Week 17 injury reports due to his lingering foot issue, but the Packers tagged him as questionable Friday due to an illness that now will force his fourth absence in the past five contests. His next chance to suit up is Week 18 at Minnesota, but at least for Week 17, Green Bay's receiving corps will be composed of Christian Watson (shoulder/illness), Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Matthew Golden, Dontayvion Wicks and Bo Melton (illness).

Packers' Savion Williams: Downgraded to questionable Saturday
Rotowire
Williams (foot) has been downgraded to questionable for Saturday's game against the Ravens due to an illness.
Williams missed three games earlier in the season due to a foot injury but was cleared to play against the Bears in Week 16. He's now battling through an illness that puts him in jeopardy of missing Saturday's game. Bo Melton (illness) and Emanuel Wilson would likely serve as the Packers' kick returners if Williams is unable to play.

Packers' Savion Williams: Ready to face Bears
Rotowire
Williams (foot) does not carry an injury designation for Saturday's matchup against Chicago, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Williams' foot injury had forced him to sit out each of Green Bay's last three games, but the rookie third-round pick is all clear for Saturday's key road divisional matchup. If either of Christian Watson (chest) or Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) is limited or unavailable versus Chicago, Williams could have an opportunity to handle an expanded depth role in his return.

Packers' Savion Williams: Estimated as limited Tuesday
Rotowire
Williams (foot) was estimated as a limited participant for the Packers' walkthrough practice Tuesday.
Williams has missed Green Bay's last three contests due to a nagging foot issue, and his status for Week 16 is now up in the air as well. He'll get two more opportunities to manage a full practice before the Packers publish their last practice report of the week Thursday.

Packers' Savion Williams: Questionable to play Denver
Rotowire
Williams (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Williams was limited all week in practice and has a chance to return Sunday from a two-game absence due to a foot injury. The rookie third-rounder hasn't seen much work on offense, but his return would give the Packers another return weapon on kickoffs. If Williams is not cleared to play, then Bo Melton and Emanuel Wilson would continue to handle the return duties on kickoffs.

Packers' Savion Williams: Doesn't practice Tuesday
Rotowire
Williams (foot) did not participate in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.
Williams has opened the week with back-to-back DNPs due to a lingering foot injury, though Monday's session was an estimate, as the Packers didn't hold a practice. The rookie third-rounder has been managing a foot injury since early November, and with the Packers playing Thanksgiving Day against the Lions, he would likely have to practice Wednesday in at least a limited capacity to have a realistic shot at playing Thursday. If Williams is not cleared to play, then Malik Heath and Bo Melton would be candidates for more snaps at wide receiver, and Melton would also be in line for return duties on kickoffs.

Packers' Savion Williams: Estimated as non-participant
Rotowire
Williams (foot) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Green Bay didn't hold an actual practice Monday, but the rookie third-round pick would not have been able to log on-field reps to begin Week 13 prep. Williams has regularly missed practices while playing through a foot injury the last two games, so, as long as he's able to log at least one limited session in advance of Thursday's divisional matchup against the Lions, he'll have a chance to take the field. If he's cleared to suit up Thanksgiving Day, Williams will handle a depth role on offense and contribute as a kick returner.

Packers' Savion Williams: Not practicing Friday
Rotowire
Williams (foot) isn't practicing Friday, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Williams will likely be listed as questionable, at best, when the Packers release their injury report later Friday, as the rookie third-round pick managed just one limited practice Thursday sandwiched between two absences. Green Bay is banged up at wide receiver, but even in the off chance Williams gets the green light Sunday against the Vikings, his contributions would likely be limited primarily to returning kickoffs on special teams.

Packers' Savion Williams: Upgrades to limited practice
Rotowire
Williams (foot) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Williams missed Wednesday's session, but it looks like he has a chance to play through his lingering foot injury again Week 12. If Williams manages to upgrade to a full practice Friday, he could even avoid an injury designation entirely for Sunday's game against the Vikings. The rookie third-round pick's status will be relatively important for the Packers, given that six of the team's wide receivers appear on Thursday's injury report as limited participants.

Packers' Savion Williams: Unable to practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Williams (foot) did not practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Williams managed to play through his foot injury during Green Bay's win over the Giants in Week 11 and secure his only target for 33 yards, but it appears his availability is once again uncertain for Week 12. Meanwhile, fellow wideouts Romeo Doubs (wrist), Matthew Golden (wrist/shoulder), Christian Watson (knee) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) were all limited in Wednesday's practice. Williams will have two more opportunities to upgrade his activity level at practice ahead of Sunday's home matchup against the Vikings.

Packers' Savion Williams: Giving it a go Sunday
Rotowire
Williams (foot) is active for Sunday's Week 11 game against the Giants, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Williams was limited in practice throughout the week due to a lingering foot injury. The rookie wideout will play through the issue for a second straight contest, though his already limited role on offense could be further reduced with fellow wideout Matthew Golden (shoulder) returning from a one-week absence.

Packers' Savion Williams: Limited again Thursday
Rotowire
Williams (foot) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
After holding the designation in Wednesday's walkthrough, Williams logged a limited practice Thursday as the rookie continues to deal with a foot injury. The wide receiver and backup kick returner played through the injury in Monday's loss to the Eagles and could do the same in Sunday's game against the Giants unless he is able to avoid an injury tag by practicing in full Friday.

Packers' Savion Williams: Two catches in loss
Rotowire
Williams caught both of his targets for two yards in Monday's 10-7 loss to the Eagles.
Williams was minimally involved Monday, playing just six of the Packers' 68 offensive snaps in the contest. The rookie wideout has now recorded nine receptions on nine targets for 45 yards and a touchdown across nine games. With such limited usage, Williams remains far off the fantasy radar heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Giants.

Williams (foot) is active for Monday's game against the Eagles, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.
Williams was limited in practice throughout the week, but his two partial sessions Friday and Saturday will be enough for him to suit up. Williams is likely to contribute primarily as a kick returner, though he could earn a couple of targets.

Packers' Savion Williams: Questionable for MNF
Rotowire
Williams (foot) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Eagles, Wes Hodklewicz of the Packers' official site reports.
Williams ended the week with back-to-back limited practices while tending to a foot injury, and his official status for Monday night's game may not be known until the Packers announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. The rookie third-rounder would be slated for an elevated role on offense if one or both of Dontayvion Wicks (calf) and Matthew Golden (shoulder) were to be ruled out for Week 10.

Packers' Savion Williams: Misses practice Thursday
Rotowire
Williams (foot) did not participate at practice Thursday.
Williams caught both of his targets for 12 yards and failed to gain a yard on his only carry while also losing a fumble in the team's 16-13 loss to the Panthers in Week 9. The wide receiver may have picked up a foot injury in the process, leaving his status for Week 10 uncertain. Williams will have two more chances to return to practice prior to Monday night's matchup with the Eagles.
