Browns' Greedy Williams: Interception in Week 15 loss
Rotowire
Williams had two tackles, an interception and two passes defensed in Monday's 16-14 loss to the Raiders.
Williams made his second pick of the season with just under three minutes remaining and the Browns leading 14-13, giving Cleveland a chance to run out the clock. Unfortunately, the Browns went three-and-out and Las Vegas moved down the field for the game-winning field goal as time expired. Williams played a full game Monday, while Greg Newsome (concussion) was unavailable for a second straight week. With Newsome questionable for Saturday's road contest in Green Bay, Williams could once again get ample playing time Week 16. He has 36 tackles, nine passes defensed, two interceptions and one forced fumble over 13 games.

Rotowire
The Browns placed Williams (shoulder) on injured reserve Monday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Williams has yet to suit up this season due to a shoulder injury, which coach Kevin Stefanski deemed a nerve issue.

Rotowire
Williams (shoulder) returned to practice Monday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
After sitting out practice the last two weeks, it's encouraging that Williams has returned to the team ahead of Week 3's matchup versus Washington. It sounds like Williams has a good chance to return, but it'll be worth monitoring his practice status as the week progresses. However, coach Kevin Stefanski wouldn't commit to Williams starting once he's ready, as Terrance Mitchell has apparently shown enough to possibly retain his starting role, according to Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal.
