Packers' Evan Williams: Could be done for regular season

Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said after Monday's 34-0 win over the Saints that Williams is unlikely to play in the final two games of the regular season due to a quadricep injury, but the rookie safety is expected to be available for the start of the playoffs, Zach Jacobson of 247Sports.com reports.

Williams was a late addition to the Packers' injury report after suffering a quad injury in Saturday's practice, resulting in him missing Monday's contest. LaFleur's postgame comments seem to indicate that Williams will be out for at least two more contests, and if that's the case, the 23-year-old will close out the regular season with 49 tackles, one interception and one forced fumble over 13 appearances. Zayne Anderson started at safety alongside Xavier McKinney on Monday in Williams' stead, finishing with three tackles (two solo) and an interception.
