News

  • Gets All-Pro nod for career year

    Williams finished the 2023 season with 2.0 sacks among his 139 tackles (95 solo), as well as 10 passes defensed, including one interception.

    Analysis: Williams was named a first-team All-Pro by the Associated Press, as he was among the league's top performers at linebacker. After exceeding 100 tackles in each of the previous two seasons, Williams set a career high in that category, and his 10 passes defensed were three more than Williams had in 49 NFL appearances entering 2023. Williams will be back with the Jets in 2024, having signed a three-year contract prior to the 2023 campaign.

  • Raises season total to 131 tackles

    Williams recorded seven tackles (five solo) and forced a fumble in Thursday's 37-20 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Williams notched his second forced fumble of the season while pushing his tackle total up to 131 (91 solo). The 27-year-old linebacker's strong 2023 season has also included 10 passes defensed and an interception, as Williams has grown into a three-down role after working exclusively as an early-down run stopper in previous seasons.

  • Nabs first INT of season

    Williams racked up eight tackles (seven solo), two passes defensed and one interception during Sunday's 30-28 win over the Commanders.

    Analysis: Williams has still only notched a sack in one of 15 appearances this season, though he did tally two on that occasion. He's already notched a career-high 87 tackles (37 solo) in 2023, though, so he remains a high-end IDP fantasy play heading into a Week 17 road matchup at Cleveland.

  • Will play vs. Falcons

    Williams (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game versus the Falcons, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    Analysis: Despite being limited at practice Thursday, Williams will be available for the Jets in Week 13. He figures to be a great IDP play come Sunday, as Atlanta has run the ball on 49 percent of its offensive snaps so far this season, more often than all but two other teams.

  • Still bothered by knee

    Williams (knee) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: However, Williams was in the locker room with his team after practice, a promising sign for his potential availability in Week 13. If he can practice in full Friday, he'll likely avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

  • Practices in full Wednesday

    Williams (knee) was a full participant at practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Williams was listed as limited on the Jets' practice estimate Tuesday, but he was able to upgrade to full participation Wednesday. He should start at linebacker Friday versus the Dolphins.

  • Dealing with knee injury

    Williams (knee) was listed as a limited participant on the Jets' estimated injury report Tuesday.

    Analysis: Williams has been dealing with a knee injury on and off this season, but he's been able to play in all 10 of their contests, so his status Tuesday isn't much of a concern. The linebacker has compiled 31 tackles and a pass deflection over the last four games.

  • Closing in on 100 tackles

    Williams had 10 tackles (six solo), including one tackle for loss, in Sunday's 32-6 loss to Buffalo.

    Analysis: Williams has posted double-digit tackle totals in half of the Jets' 10 games this season. He also has at least one tackle for loss in all but one game. The 27-year-old linebacker needs nine tackles to crack triple digits in that category for the third straight season.

  • Good to go at Vegas

    Williams (knee) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game at the Raiders, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Williams was able to manage a full practice Friday, putting him on track to suit up in Week 10. He projects as a good IDP play, having tallied at least nine total tackles in six of his eight games so far this season.

  • Limited in Wednesday walkthrough

    Williams (knee) was listed as a limited participant in the Jets' practice walkthrough Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Williams played almost every one of the Jets' defensive snaps in Monday's loss to the Chargers, but he appears to have come away with a knee issue. New York held a walkthrough Wednesday, so Williams' limited status is simply an estimation, and a better idea of his status for Sunday's game in Las Vegas should emerge over the next two days.

  • Tackling machine in OT win

    Williams had 11 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 13-10 overtime win over the Giants.

    Analysis: As he has all season, Williams was all over the field Sunday and registered double-digit tackles for the fourth time this season. He's recorded at least nine tackles in all but one game this year and has played in at least 96 percent of defensive snaps in all seven contests. He's tied with C.J. Mosley with the most tackles on the team (71) and should continue to get heavily involved in Week 9 against the Chargers on Monday night.

  • Stuffs stat sheet again

    Williams recorded 12 tackles (nine solo), including one tackle for loss, while adding a pass defensed and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 20-14 win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: Quincy and brother Quinnen Williams each forced a turnover as the Jets' defense turned Philadelphia over four times in all. Quinnen is already recognized as one of the NFL's best defensive players, having been named a first-team All-Pro defensive tackle last season, and Quincy's making a case to join his brother among the All-Pro ranks in 2023. The 27-year-old linebacker has 60 tackles (47 solo), five passes defensed and two sacks through six games.

  • Two sacks in win

    Williams recorded nine tackles (five solo), including two sacks, and forced a fumble in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: Williams was able to notch his first two sacks of the season and strip the ball from Russell Wilson late in the fourth quarter, which put the game on ice for New York. The linebacker now has 48 tackles, including two sacks, and has deflected four passes and forced a fumble over the first five games of 2023.

  • Tallies 13 stops in Week 4

    Williams registered 13 tackles (10 solo), including two for loss, and added two defensed passes Sunday in a loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Williams was one of the keys to slowing down Kansas City's vaunted offense, as he led the Jets with a season-high 13 tackles. The fifth-year pro also recorded two pass defenses, and he leads all NFL linebackers in that category with four on the campaign. Williams is thriving in his third year with the Jets -- with 39 tackles through four weeks, he's on pace to easily surpass the career-best mark of 110 he established in 2021.

  • Nine tackles in loss

    Williams had nine tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Williams was able to suit up for Week 3 after sustaining a knee injury in Week 2 against the Cowboys. The injury didn't seem to slow him down, as he played in 66 of 69 defensive snaps and was behind only Jordan Whitehead and C.J. Mosley in total tackles on the day. Williams and the Jets defense will have their hands full in Week 4 as they welcome Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs on Sunday night.

  • Good to go

    Williams (knee) is absent from the Jets' final injury report ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Patriots.

    Analysis: After logging limited practice sessions to start the week, Williams was a full participant Friday. He appears to have shaken off the leg injury that he sustained in Week 2. Look for him to take on his usual role at outside linebacker assuming he avoids any setbacks.

  • Suffers knee injury in loss

    Williams sustained a knee injury in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Cowboys, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.

    Analysis: It's unclear how significant the injury is, but head coach Robert Saleh said following the contest that Williams will undergo further evaluation. The linebacker's status will likely be updated in the coming days.

  • Racks up 10 tackles in win

    Williams had 10 tackles (nine solo), one tackle for loss and a pass defensed in Monday's 22-16 overtime win over the Bills.

    Analysis: Williams picked up where he left off after topping 100 tackles in each of his previous two campaigns with the Jets. The linebacker was flying around all night and played on all 69 of New York's defensive snaps.

  • Agrees to three-year deal

    Williams agreed to a three-year, $18 million contract with the Jets on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Williams was slated to become an unrestricted free agent this week, but he'll instead remain in New York. The 26-year-old has recorded back-to-back seasons with 100-plus tackles since joining the Jets, and he logged 106 tackles (74 solo), including three sacks, and a pass defense over 15 appearances last year.

  • Back-to-back 100-tackle seasons

    Williams finished the 2022 campaign with 106 tackles (74 solo), three sacks, 12 tackles for loss and one pass defensed.

    Analysis: What Williams lacks in coverage ability, he makes up for in stopping the run, as the 2019 third-round draft selection of the Jaguars has racked up 216 tackles in 31 games since being claimed on waivers by the Jets. Quincy will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, though his preference is to remain in New York alongside his brother Quinnen Williams.

  • Records 10 tackles again

    Williams registered 10 tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 23-6 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Williams has now reached double-digit stops in consecutive outings, as he paced both clubs with 10 stops in the Week 17 loss to Seattle. The 26-year-old is in line to continue playing heavy snaps next Sunday against Miami.

  • Ten tackles against former team

    Williams had 10 tackles (six solo) -- including one tackle for loss -- in Thursday's 19-3 loss to the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Williams posted his second double-digit tackle total of the season. He needs 24 tackles over the Jets' last two games to tie last season's career high of 110, so the former third-round draft pick of the Jaguars appears likely to fall just shy of that total.

  • Seven tackles in Week 15

    Williams totaled seven tackles (five solo), including two tackles for loss, in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Lions.

    Analysis: Williams did his best to make up for the absence of his brother Quinnen Williams (calf). Even without Quinnen generating interior pressure along the defensive line, Quincy used his anticipation to shoot the gap and stop a few rushing attempts in their tracks. The 26-year-old linebacker raised his season total to 76 tackles (54 solo) through 12 appearances.

  • Six tackles in Week 14

    Williams had six solo tackles in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Williams laid a couple of his signature big hits and finished second on the team in tackles behind C.J. Mosley (nine tackles, seven solo). After breaking out with 110 tackles last season, Williams has 69 in 11 appearances this year. His decrease in tackles can counter-intuitively be chalked up to New York's holistic improvement on defense, as the Jets are significantly better at getting the opposing offense off the field than they were last season.

  • Good to go Week 12

    Williams (ankle) was a full participant in practice Friday and does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Bears, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Williams exited with an ankle injury during Sunday's loss to the Patriots, causing him to play a season-low 68 percent of his team's defensive snaps Week 11. The linebacker then participated in a limited fashion during practice Wednesday and Thursday before logging a full session Friday. As a result, expect Williams, who has accumulated 55 tackles and two sacks over eight games this season, to reprise a starting role against Chicago in Week 12.

  • Exits with injury

    Williams (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Patriots.

    Analysis: Williams was previously sidelined for two straight games after sustaining a high-ankle sprain against the Bengals in Week 3, though it's unclear if he aggravated this issue at all Sunday. With the starting outside linebacker sidelined for the time being, expect Jamien Sherwood to step up into a bigger role alongside C.J. Mosley and Kwon Alexander.

    Williams (ankle) has been ruled out for the Jets' Week 4 contest against the Steelers, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.

    Analysis: As expected, Williams will be a no-go this weekend as he nurses the high-ankle sprain that he suffered in Week 3. The linebacker is considered week-to-week by head coach Robert Saleh. Marcell Harris and Jamien Sherwood will play larger roles in Williams' absence.

  • 'Week-to-week' with injury

    Jets coach Robert Saleh said Monday that Williams is considered "week-to-week" with a high ankle sprain.

    Analysis: Williams had to be carted off after going down with this ankle injury against the Bengals on Sunday, leaving his status up in the air for the next few weeks. The fourth-year linebacker recorded 18 tackles and one sack while playing 158 defensive snaps over the Jets' first three games this season. Should Williams miss time, Marcell Harris and Jamien Sherwood figure to see increased roles in Week 4 against Pittsburgh.

  • Tests reveal sprain

    Williams (ankle) appears to have an ankle sprain, as X-rays on the injury he suffered in Week 3 against the Bengals came back negative, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The Jets feared a broken ankle, so this is positive news, even if Williams will still likely miss a few weeks as a result of the sprained ankle. He'll most likely be absent when the Jets begin practicing ahead of their Week 4 trip to Pittsburgh.

  • Gets third career sack

    Williams had six tackles, all solo, and a sack in Sunday's 24-9 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Williams finished second on the team behind C.J. Mosley in tackles, as it was a busy afternoon for New York's linebackers. The sack was only the third of Williams' career, as he had two with the Jets last season after going 18 games without one for Jacksonville to begin his career.

  • Has 110 tackles in breakout season

    Williams finished with 110 tackles (73 solo), two sacks, five passes defensed and three forced fumbles in 2021.

    Analysis: Williams didn't make much of an impact over his first two NFL campaigns as a member of the Jaguars, but he found a home alongside his brother Quinnen with the Jets in his third NFL season. The pair made history when both recorded a sack in the Week 4 win over the Titans, becoming the first set of brothers to do so for one team in the same game since sacks became an official stat in 1982. Williams played a three-down role this season due to the Jets' lack of depth at linebacker, but his…read more

  • Closing in on milestone

    Williams totaled 11 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Williams is closing in on the 100-tackle mark this season. He needs six tackles to get there in Week 16, and Williams will have some extra motivation to do so against the Jaguars team that selected the linebacker in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft but subsequently waived him in August of this year.

    Williams (calf) was able to be a full participant at practice Friday.

    Analysis: The linebacker came into the week a little banged up with a calf injury he sustained in Week 12 against the Texans, but he has ramped up his activity at practice each day and appears to be on track to play Sunday versus the Eagles. Williams has racked up 62 tackles on the season, with 22 of those coming over the last two contests.

    Williams (calf) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Texans, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.

  • Tackling machine in Week 11

    Williams totaled a game-high 15 tackles (10 solo), including two tackles for loss, in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Williams flew around the field en route to a new career high in tackles. His previous best of 12 came in Week 4 of this season. Williams can be a liability in defending the pass, but his north-south game and effectiveness against the run have allowed him to carve out a prominent role in New York's underwhelming linebacker corps.

    Williams has cleared concussion protocols and doesn't have an injury designation heading into Sunday's contest against the Bengals, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: As expected, Williams will likely be available for Week 8. The 25-year-old linebacker had to leave the Jets' Week 7 loss to the Patriots early, ending his four-game streak of at least six-plus tackles. He will look to get back on track against Joe Burrow and the Bengals on Sunday.

  • Likely available for Week 8

    Williams (concussion) is projected to clear concussion protocol and should be available for Sunday's contest against the Bengals, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Williams hasn't officially cleared concussion protocols, but he appears to be progressing well enough for the Jets to assume he will be available Sunday. The 25-year-old linebacker had to leave New York's Week 7 loss to the Patriots early, ending his four-game streak of least six-plus tackles. He will look to get back on track against Joe Burrow and the Bengals in Week 8.

  • Concussion confirmed

    Williams has been diagnosed with a concussion, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Williams sustained the injury in Sunday's loss to the Patriots and will need to clear concussion protocol before he can suit up moving forward. Quinnen Williams' brother has been a pleasant surprise for the Jets, but Quincy's status for New York's Week 8 clash with Cincinnati is murky. Further updates on Williams' status should surface once the Jets start practicing this week.

  • Might have suffered concussion

    Williams is being evaluated for a possible concussion.

    Analysis: There's no clarity on whether Williams would be able to return to action, but he'd have to be cleared by an independent doctor to receive permission to return per the league's protocol. If he can't return, the Jets' secondary would get even more depleted -- and someone like Noah Dawkins might be in line to gain more playing time.

  • Forces two fumbles abroad

    Williams notched eight tackles (five solo) and two forced fumbles during Sunday's loss to the Falcons.

    Analysis: Williams has 20 total tackles in his last two games, so by this point he's made a convincing argument to be trusted in IDP fantasy lineups. The third-year pro has played more than 90 percent of defensive snaps in all four of his appearances this season.

  • Twelve tackles against Titans

    Williams racked up 12 tackles (10 solo), a sack and two tackles for loss in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Titans.

    Analysis: Williams looked like he was shot out of a cannon, delivering a number of massive hits, including one that came inches from stuffing Derrick Henry short of the line to gain on fourth down in overtime. The Jets might have found a diamond in the rough in Quinnen Williams' unheralded brother, as Quincy has totaled 23 tackles over the last three games.

  • Back from injured reserve

    Williams (abdomen) was reinstated from injured reserve Saturday.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old landed on injured reserve ahead of the season opener but is now fully clear of the abdominal injury. Williams had 48 tackles in 11 games as a rookie last season and could compete with Cassius Marsh for reps at strongside linebacker.

  • Pegged to return from IR

    Williams (abdomen) has been designated to return from injured reserve, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Williams has missed the first three games of the season but could return for Sunday's matchup against the Bengals. He'll be monitored throughout the practice week to see how the injury responds. The 2019 third-round pick has a good chance to reclaim the starting strong-side linebacker role upon return, and he'll look to build on last year's 48-tackle output through 11 contests.

  • Dealing with abdomen injury

    Williams is out indefinitely with a core muscle injury, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.

    Analysis: The language hints at a serious issue, perhaps something that might require surgery. The 2019 third-round pick had 48 tackles as a rookie last year, starting eight of his 11 games before a hand injury sent him to injured reserve in December. The Jaguars signed Joe Schobert in the offseason to join Myles Jack at linebacker, likely pushing Williams to a part-time role -- or maybe just special teams -- once he's healthy. PFFs grading put Williams 89th out of 91 qualified linebackers last year, and…read more

  • Set for reserve role

    Williams (hand) is expected to fill a backup role in 2020, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.

    Analysis: The 2019 third-round pick had a forgettable rookie campaign and totaled 48 tackles in 11 games before landing on injured reserve in December. The offseason additions of Joe Schobert and Cassius Marsh are an attempt to shore up Jacksonville's linebacking corps, which leaves Williams in line to fill a reserve role.
