The Rams activated Williams (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday. Williams has been rehabbing through a hamstring injury he sustained in late July. His practice window opened Wednesday, and he will return for Week 5 against the Packers after practicing in full Thursday and Friday. Williams could be brought on slowly and serve as the Rams' top backup corner behind starters Tre'Davious White and Cobie Durant. Williams played in all 17 regular-season games for the Jaguars in 2023 and finished with 53 tackles (44 solo), 19 passes defended (four interceptions) and two forced fumbles.

Rams coach Sean McVay said Friday that he expects Williams (hamstring) to play versus Green Bay on Sunday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports. Williams has been on IR all season but was designated to return Wednesday and logged a limited practice session followed by a pair of full sessions during Week 5 prep. The veteran cornerback started all 17 regular-season games for Jacksonville last year and will likely be a starter for Los Angeles as well upon his return. It's not yet clear how the Rams will shift their secondary to accommodate Williams' insertion into the starting lineup.

Williams (hamstring) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday. The Rams now have 21 days to activate Williams to their active roster before he reverts to IR. Williams re-signed with the Rams this past offseason after a two-year stint in Jacksonville, during which he recorded 86 total tackles and 35 passes defended, including four interceptions, across 34 regular-season games. He's expected to start opposite Tre'Davious White as part of the Rams' top cornerback duo once he's fully recovered from his hamstring issue.

Head coach Sean McVay told reporters Monday that Williams (hamstring) is expected to return to practice and have his 21-day window opened this week, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports. Williams missed the Rams' first four games this season due to a hamstring injury sustained in late July, but following McVay's comments Monday, it appears he's nearing a return to the field. McVay told reporters at the beginning of September that Williams' target return date was Week 5, and he appears to be right on schedule. If Williams' 21-day window is opened and he's able to suit up against the Packers on Sunday, he'll serve as one of Los Angeles' top cornerbacks.

Coach Sean McVay said Friday "the hope" is Williams (hamstring) will be ready to come off IR and play Week 5, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports. Williams will need to spend at least four games on IR while recovering from a hamstring injury he initially sustained in late July. Until Williams is back on the field, however, Cobie Durant will project to handle a starting role at cornerback across from veteran Tre'Davious White, beginning with Sunday night's regular-season opener against the Lions.
