Browns' Quincy Williams: Gets two-year deal with Cleveland
Williams and the Browns agreed to a two-year contract Monday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Williams is expected to take the starting linebacker spot vacated by Devin Bush after the latter signed a three-year deal with the Bears on Monday. Williams logged 100-plus tackles in four consecutive seasons from 2021 to 2024, but that streak was broken last year after he missed four games while on injured reserve due to a shoulder injury. The Murray State product finished with 83 tackles (45 solo), including a career-high 3.5 sacks, and seven pass defenses across 13 regular-season games in 2025.

Jets' Quincy Williams: Dips to 83 tackles in 2025
Williams (hand) recorded 83 tackles (45 solo), including 3.5 sacks, and seven passes defensed across 13 appearances in 2025.
Williams fell short of 100 tackles for the first time in five seasons with the Jets as injuries and age took their toll on the 29-year-old linebacker. He dealt with shoulder and hand injuries throughout the season and exited the regular-season finale as the latter injury flared up on him. The Jets traded away Quincy's brother Quinnen Williams during the 2025 season and are unlikely to retain the remaining Williams brother in free agency.

Jets' Quincy Williams: Dealing with hand injury
Williams (hand) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Bills.
Williams suffered an apparent hand injury in the third quarter, and his status for the rest of the game is now in question. In his absence, Mykal Walker is a top candidate to see increased reps at linebacker versus Buffalo.

Jets' Quincy Williams: Six tackles in loss
Williams recorded six tackles (five solo) in the Jets' loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
Williams played 96 percent of the defensive snaps against New England and has now logged 80 tackles (42 solo), including 3.5 sacks, and six pass breakups on 91 percent of the defensive snaps across 12 appearances this season.

Jets' Quincy Williams: Posts 11 stops in Week 16 loss
Williams finished Sunday's loss to New Orleans with 11 tackles (six solo).
Williams and Jamien Sherwood co-led the Jets in stops in defeat. The 11-tackle tally was a season best for Williams, whose previous high mark on the campaign was eight stops. It's been a down year overall for Williams, and with 74 tackles through 11 games, it seems likely that he'll fall short of triple-digit stops for the first time since 2020.

Jets' Quincy Williams: Ready for Sunday
Williams (hand) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Williams managed to upgrade to full practice participation Friday, just in time to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's contest. The linebacker played 100 percent of defensive snaps in last Sunday's loss to the Dolphins and has not dropped below a 71 percent snap share since returning from a shoulder injury in Week 8.

Jets' Quincy Williams: Upgrades to limited Thursday
Williams (hand) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Williams' upgrade in participation bodes well for his chances to be able to suit up for Sunday's contest against the Jaguars. The outside linebacker has one more practice to prove he should be free of an injury designation, and it may be key that he is. The Jets' linebacker corps is littered with injuries, and with Francisco Mauigoa (neck) also listed as questionable, Kobe King is the sole outside linebacker who is guaranteed to be ready for Sunday.

Jets' Quincy Williams: Nursing hand injury
Williams (hand) did not practice Wednesday.
Williams likely picked up the injury during the Jets' 34-10 loss to the Dolphins this past Sunday, when he logged seven tackles (two solo, including 1.0 sacks, while playing every single defensive snap. The veteran linebacker will have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation ahead of this Sunday's road tilt against the Jaguars.

Jets' Quincy Williams: Reaches career high in sacks
Williams recorded seven tackles (two solo) and 1.0 sacks in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins.
Williams now has 3.5 sacks this season, marking a career high in the category through just nine games. The 29-year-old linebacker has averaged just 6.5 tackles per game, which leaves a low floor for fantasy purposes, but it should help that he has played all but one defensive snap over the last three weeks.

Jets' Quincy Williams: Tallies six tackles in Week 12 loss
Williams logged six tackles (three solo) during the Jets' 23-10 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Williams was one of three Jets players to play every single defensive snap during Sunday's loss, and he finished tied for the second-most tackles on the team behind Jamien Sherwood (13). In the four games since returning from injured reserve due to a shoulder injury, Williams has accumulated 29 tackles (17 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two pass defenses.

Jets' Quincy Williams: Logs eight tackles vs. Patriots
Williams recorded eight total tackles (six solo) in Thursday night's 27-14 loss to the Patriots.
The Murray State product tied Jarvis Brownlee, Jamien Sherwood and Brandon Stephens for the most stops on the Jets' defense during Thursday's loss. Since returning from injury in the Week 8 win over the Bengals, Williams has tallied 23 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and two passes defended over just three contests. He's expected to remain a viable IDP option in the Jets' Week 12 matchup against the Ravens.

Jets' Quincy Williams: Seven tackles in win
Williams compiled seven total tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Browns.
Williams was ticketed to see a drop in workload in Week 10, but that didn't necessarily transpire. The linebacker finished tied for third on the team with safety Isaiah Oliver in takedowns, and he was able to get to Dillon Gabriel for a sack in the third quarter. Williams is now up to 29 total tackles (16 solo), including 2.5 sacks, while also adding four passes defensed over five games this year.

Jets' Quincy Williams: Loses starting gig
Williams was informed that he's lost his starting job Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Williams spoke with the media Wednesday, stating that "my coaches told me I was underperforming, that I've been underperforming since training camp." The linebacker is "not thrilled" with the decision, but he intends to win his job back. It's unclear who will replace Williams against the Browns on Sunday, but Ja'Markis Weston and Kobe King are two candidates to do so.

Jets' Quincy Williams: Comes back and makes plays
Williams finished with seven tackles (three solo) and two pass breakups in Sunday's 39-38 win over the Bengals.
The outside linebacker missed the previous four games with a shoulder injury. Williams is up to 22 tackles (11 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and four passes defensed on the season. He's played most of the defensive snaps this season when available, and that shouldn't change after the Jets' Week 9 bye.

Jets' Quincy Williams: Cleared to return Week 8
Williams (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
The Jets activated Williams from injured reserve Saturday, and the 2019 third-rounder has been officially cleared to return from a four-game absence due to a shoulder injury. He'll likely see a heavy dose of defensive snaps in his return, which means there will be less opportunities for Ja'Markis Weston and Mykal Walker to see the field on defense.

Jets' Quincy Williams: Activated from injured reserve
The Jets activated Williams (shoulder) from injured reserve Saturday, but he is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Williams was cleared to return to practice Wednesday after missing the Jets' last four games due to a shoulder injury. He was a full participant in practice all week, and while he's still questionable, his activation from IR indicates that he is tracking toward playing Week 8. Williams' return would mean less rotational snaps at linebacker for Kobe King, Ja'Markis Weston and Mykal Walker.
