Dexter Williams News
Green Bay Packers running back Dexter Williams (knee), who was brought up from the practice squad for Thursday's game against the 49ers, will be out at least three weeks with an MCL sprain after undergoing an MRI exam, according to a source. Williams will be a candidate for Injured Reserve. The 23-year-old from Notre Dame ran the ball just twice against San Francisco for eight yards before suffering the knee injury. He was only brought up to the active roster because rookie A.J. Dillon and Jamaal Williams were out in Week 9 because of COVID-19 protocols. Williams wasn't a realistic fantasy play on Thursday night with Aaron Jones and Tyler Ervin ahead of him, and he'll likely revert back to the practice squad when he's healthy.
Green Bay Packers running back Dexter Williams (knee) and cornerback Jaire Alexander (concussion) were both injured on Thursday night against the 49ers and have been ruled out for the rest of the game. Williams, who was elevated from the practice squad with A.J. Dillon and Jamaal Williams out due to COVID-19, rushed the ball just twice for eight yards before departing. Alexander, the team's top cornerback, left the game after taking a hard hit to the helmet while attempting a tackle. With Green Bay up 31-3 near the end of the third quarter, it doesn't make any sense to rush either player back into the ball game. Williams and Alexander will have extra time to heal up before the Week 10 contest against the Jaguars, although Williams may head back to the practice squad if Dillon and Jamaal Williams clear the COVID-19 protocols next week.
The Green Bay Packers have waived running back Dexter Williams, a 2019 sixth-round pick for the team. After drafting A.J. Dillon this year, the Packers backfield was too crowded for both Jamaal Williams and Dexter Williams to have roles this year, so this move seems to indicate that Jamaal Williams will be the No. 3 back on the team's depth chart. Jamaal Williams isn't much of a fantasy option at this point outside of being a deep-league dart throw in case of injuries to Dillon or starter Aaron Jones, while Dexter Williams is undraftable and isn't likely to find himself a consistent NFL role in 2020. His most likely landing spot is the Packers practice squad.
