Titans' James Williams: Full participant Wednesday
Williams (elbow) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Williams was inactive for the Titans' 24-20 loss to the Eagles in Week 3 due to an elbow injury. The linebacker has recovered from the issue and should be all set to suit up for Sunday's game against the Giants, barring any setbacks.

Titans' James Williams: Inactive versus Philadelphia
Williams (elbow) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles.
It's unknown when Williams may have sustained the elbow injury, though it may have occurred during the 23-10 loss to the Jets in Week 1. Williams was limited in practice during the week and was listed as questionable heading into the meeting with Philadelphia. However, the 23-year-old won't be out there in Week 2, meaning Owen Pappoe is projected to take on an expanded role.

Titans' James Williams: Questionable due to elbow injury
Williams (elbow) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.
Williams may have picked up the injury during the Titans' Week 1 loss to the Jets, when he logged one assisted tackle while contributing on both special teams and defense. His injury limited his participation in all three practice sessions this week, and his status for Sunday's contest may not be officially known until Tennessee announces its list of inactive players 90 minutes before kickoff at 1:00 p.m. ET. Owen Pappoe would be in line for an expanded role on defense if Williams is not cleared to play.

Titans' James Williams: No lingering injury
Williams (shoulder) was a full participant at Thursday's practice, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Williams suffered an AC joint injury in his right shoulder during the season finale last year, but there are no lingering effects to start the offseason program. The 2024 seventh-round pick played just 79 defensive snaps over 16 gamers last year. With Arden Key with the Colts now, Williams could push for an increased role in 2026, and he should remain useful on special teams regardless.

Titans' James Williams: Suffers injury in Week 18
Williams suffered an AC joint injury in his right shoulder during Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars, Paul Kuharsky of PaulKuharsky.com reports.
Williams was seen wearing a sling Monday after the Titans' season finale versus Jacksonville. The severity of his injury is unclear. The 22-year-old played in 16 games during the 2025 season, accounting for 26 tackles (22 solo), including 1.0 sacks.

Titans' James Williams: Logs season-high tackles
Williams tallied nine tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Tennessee's win over the Chiefs on Sunday.
Williams benefited from increased playing time with Cedric Gray out with a concussion and turned in his best performance of the campaign, leading the team in tackles in addition to recording his first sack. The 22-year-old should get another start at linebacker should Gray remain sidelined for the Week 17 matchup versus the Saints.

Titans' James Williams: Good to go Week 13
Williams (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
Williams popped up on Saturday's injury report due to an illness, but the 2024 seventh-rounder has been cleared to play in Sunday's AFC South tilt. He has logged four solo tackles across 10 regular-season games while serving exclusively on special teams.

Williams (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars.
Williams was added to the Titans' injury report Saturday and may be unavailable for the Week 13 divisional matchup due to an illness. If he's sidelined for the second time this season Sunday, expect Dorian Mausi and Joe Bachie to operate as the Titans' top reserve inside linebackers.

Titans' James Williams: Increased role late in 2024
Williams tallied 26 tackles (17 solo) across 13 regular-season games in 2024.
Williams was snatched by the Titans in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 242nd overall. He earned a spot on the 53-man roster after training camp and was mostly used in a special teams role. Williams saw more work late in the 2024 campaign due to the absence of Jerome Baker, and the former logged at least six combined tackles in three of the team's final four regular season games.

Titans' James Williams: Registers eight tackles vs. Bengals
Williams finished Sunday's 37-27 loss to the Bengals with eight tackles (six solo).
The rookie seventh-rounder started at inside linebacker Sunday due to Jerome Baker (coach's decision) being sidelined. Williams made the most of his opportunity by logging a career-best eight tackles while playing 60 snaps (41 on defense, 19 on special teams). It's unclear if Baker will be a healthy scratch for Week 16 against the Colts, but if he remains sidelined, Williams would be in line for another start alongside Kenneth Murray.
