Williams (knee) has been ruled active ahead of Saturday's game against Cleveland.

With top cornerback Marshon Lattimore (abdomen) and starting strong safety Marcus Maye (knee) both inactive versus the Browns, Williams should be in line for a very prominent workload Week 16.

Williams recorded 11 tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Steelers.
