Williams played in all 17 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 117 tackles (68 solo), one forced fumble and three fumble recoveries. He added seven tackles (six solo) across the Bills' three playoff games. The 2023 third-round pick started in the first 11 games of the regular season due to the absence of Matt Milano, who began the campaign on injured reserve while recovering from a right leg fracture that he suffered in October 2023. Williams took advantage of the opportunity, recording 97 tackles (59 solo) over that span while logging double-digit tackles in six games. He moved back to a rotational role following Buffalo's Week 12 bye after Milano was activated off IR, but Williams' play in 2024 gives him a strong case of being an every-down linebacker for the 2025 season. Williams will have a chance to earn that role when training camp starts in July.

Williams (elbow) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest versus the Lions. Williams sustained the elbow injury in the first half, placing some doubt on his ability to return to the game. In his absence, Matt Milano will continue to handle the lion's share of workload at weakside linebacker against Detroit.

Williams recorded 12 tackles (11 solo) and one fumble recovery in the Bills' loss to the Texans on Sunday. A third-round pick in 2023, Williams has taken over as a starter in his second pro season. His 11 solo tackles Sunday marked a new career-high, and Williams has double-digit tackles in four straight contests. He's up to an NFL-best 54 tackles this season, with 35 of them being of the solo variety. Williams has added two fumble recoveries and one forced fumble.

Williams accrued 11 tackles (eight solo) in Monday's 47-10 victory over the Jaguars. Williams saw less snaps on defense Monday than he did in each of the first two games of the regular season, but that was due to game script as Buffalo rested its starters in the fourth quarter. Williams still managed to lead the Bills in tackling, and his 30 total tackles is tied with Panthers' Shaq Thompson for 10th in the NFL through the first three games of the regular season. Williams has firmly entrenched himself in the starting linebacker corps while Matt Milano continues to recover from a torn biceps he sustained during training camp.
