Williams was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster Friday, Ben Swanson of the Broncos' official site reports.
Williams will have a chance to play a significant role Sunday against the Chargers. With Jerry Jeudy (illness) and Tim Patrick (illness) currently on the COVID list, and Courtland Sutton possibly joining them, the Broncos could be down their top three wideouts. This would place Williams as high as third on the positional depth chart, behind Kendall Hinton and Diontae Spencer. Williams was a 2021 sixth-round selection out of Auburn who has yet step on an NFL field this season.
