  • Recovering from surgery

    Williams underwent surgery on his foot in November, Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: The procedure was his second season-ending surgery in as many years, though the Dolphins never revealed the extent of Williams' foot injury when he was placed on injured reserve in mid-November. The young wideout scored four touchdowns in eight appearances before he hurt his foot, but he averaged just 4.4 targets and 36 yards per game, returning to action 10 months after his rookie season ended with an ACL tear. The Dolphins expect Williams to be healthy for the start of the 2021 campaign,…read more

  • Still not practicing

    Williams (foot) isn't participating in Wednesday's practice, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Dolphins head coach Brian Flores has said that Williams isn't shut down for the season, but at this point, the second-year wideout doesn't seem to have a realistic shot to play Week 17 against the Bills. Williams could have a better shot at returning to the field in the postseason, should the Dolphins earn a playoff berth. Through eight games before landing on injured reserve, Williams secured 18 of 35 targets for 288 yards and four touchdowns.

  • Not available Week 16

    Dolphins head coach Brian Flores confirmed Williams (foot) won't be available to play Saturday against the Raiders, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: Flores noted that Williams hasn't been shut down for the season, but at this stage, a return for the postseason looks to be the wideout's focus at this point rather than making it back for a Week 17 matchup with the Bills on Jan. 3. Since landing on injured reserve Nov. 11 with the foot injury, Williams has yet to resume practicing.

  • Return uncertain

    Dolphins head coach Brian Flores suggested Wednesday that Williams (foot) remains in recovery mode and is uncertain to return from injured reserve before the end of the regular season, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Flores didn't rule out the possibility of Williams making a late-season return, but for now, the wideout's activation doesn't appear imminent. If the Dolphins make the playoffs, Williams would have more time to heal up from his foot injury and get back on the field, but his chances of playing again during the regular season seem to be growing slimmer. With Jakeem Grant (undisclosed) and Malcolm Perry (chest) both banged up, Miami could certainly benefit from Williams' potential return.

  • Headed to IR

    Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said Wednesday that Williams (foot) will be placed on injured reserve, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports. "[Williams' injury is] more significant than we thought," Flores said.

    Analysis: Flores was unwilling to speculate if the foot injury Williams sustained in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Cardinals would sideline him for the rest of the season, but the receiver's move to IR means that he'll miss at least three games. With Williams shut down through the end of the month, Flores specifically mentioned Jakeem Grant, Mack Hollins and Lynn Bowden as the main candidates to see more work alongside No. 1 receiver DeVante Parker. The 23-year-old Williams has had some tough luck on the…read more

  • Deemed 'day-to-day'

    Williams (foot) is considered day-to-day, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Williams injured his foot in the second quarter of Sunday's eventual win at Arizona and was carted off the field. X-rays came back negative, leading the Dolphins to believe he's dealing with a sprain, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. It's unclear if Williams will be available Week 10 against the Chargers, but the decision likely will come down to how many practice reps the 2019 undrafted free agent can handle in the coming days.

  • Gets good news from X-rays

    X-rays on Williams' injured foot came back negative, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The Dolphins believe Williams escaped with a sprain, though it could be a relatively severe one given that he was carted off the field during the second quarter of Sunday's win over the Cardinals. He was on track for a huge game before the injury, catching four of five targets for 60 yards and a touchdown on 17 snaps. Mack Hollins replaced Williams and scored a TD of his own, but Hollins finished the afternoon with just the one target, also playing 17 snaps (28 percent). Hollins and Jakeem…read more

  • Ruled out to return

    Williams (foot) has been ruled out to return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Williams' foot injury comes at an especially inopportune time, as he had four grabs for 60 yards and a score during the first half and appeared to have been manufacturing solid chemistry with rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Per Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post, initial medical evaluations have diagnosed Williams with a sprain. The second-year pro was limited to eight appearances as a rookie due to an ACL tear.

  • Carted off after TD grab

    Williams was carted off the field during the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to a foot injury and is questionable to return, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Williams had four catches for 60 yards on five targets before being forced out Sunday, including a nine-yard helicopter score. If the second-year pro is unable to return against Arizona, it will fall to a combination of Jakeem Grant, Malcolm Perry and Mack Hollins to pick up the slack behind top wideout DeVante Parker.

  • Held to two catches again

    Williams hauled in two of five targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 28-17 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: Williams has now been held to two receptions in back-to-back games, and he's failed to exceed 20 yards in four of seven contests. Granted, rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa only passed for 93 yards in his first NFL start, as Sunday featured a strange game script in which Miami got to nurse a lead courtesy of both defensive and special-teams touchdowns. The second-year pro will get a chance to demonstrate more on-field chemistry with Tagovailoa in Arizona in Week 9.

  • Finds end zone Sunday

    Williams caught two of three targets for 18 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-0 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: The Dolphins' passing game mostly went into the tank after taking a 21-0 lead into halftime, but Williams was able to cash in early to salvage his production. The second-year receiver has found the end zone in three of the last four games, and if the groin injury DeVante Parker suffered Sunday doesn't heal up over the team's Week 7 bye, Williams could find himself as Ryan Fitzpatrick's top option for a game or two.

  • Eclipses century mark in win

    Williams hauled in four of five targets for 106 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 43-17 win over the 49ers.

    Analysis: Williams got off to a quiet start to the 2020 season while coming off an ACL tear, but he looked to be at full form during Sunday's upset win. The second-year pro set the tone on Miami's first play of the game with a 47-yard catch from Ryan Fitzpatrick. His 106 receiving yards were a career high, and Williams also surpassed his total combined yardage through the first four games of the season.

  • To be more involved in offense

    Offensive coordinator Chan Gailey said Tuesday that the Dolphins are trying to get Williams more involved in the passing game, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports. "We're hoping to continue to work with him to get him some catches. We know he can be a weapon, we know he should be a weapon ... we need him to," Gailey said.

    Analysis: Williams has been an afterthought in the Dolphins offense through four weeks, ranking fifth on the team in target share behind even running back Myles Gaskin. He has not caught more than two passes in any game this season and his catch rate checks in at just 35 percent. The Dolphins will try to up his involvement in the offense, though part of that will depend on Williams creating separation and presenting a viable target for the quarterback.

  • Held to one catch versus Seattle

    Williams secured one of three targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 31-23 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick delivered both DeVante Parker and Isaiah Ford double-digit targets, leaving Williams and tight end Mike Gesicki mostly uninvolved in the passing game. Williams hasn't enjoyed much fantasy relevance outside of a Week 3 contest in which he scored (but only managed seven yards). The second-year pro is off to a slow start to the 2020 season, so he'll be difficult to trust for fantasy purposes unless he can string together a few consistent performances.

  • Catches first TD of season

    Williams brought in both his targets for seven yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 31-13 win over the Jaguars on Thursday.

    Analysis: Williams was able to salvage what would have been a complete wash-out of a night for fantasy managers with his three-yard touchdown grab in the first quarter. The Colorado State product has struggled to make an impact in new coordinator Chan Gailey's offense thus far, posting just five catches on 14 targets through three games. The solid amount of looks is encouraging, and Williams may be able to start converting them into better production the more he familiarizes himself with the scheme.…read more

  • Inefficient with targets again

    Williams hauled in one of five targets for 26 yards during Sunday's 33-28 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Among the four targets that Williams failed to secure was a would-be short touchdown despite Ryan Fitzpatrick putting the ball squarely in his hands. Through two contests the second-year pro has just three catches on 12 targets, a dismal ratio even when factoring in that he's faced two of the league's top defenses (Buffalo and New England). Williams will get a solid opportunity to bounce back against Jacksonville's lackluster secondary in Week 3, but the Dolphins could consider decreasing his…read more

  • Quiet in opener

    Williams hauled in two of seven targets for 41 yards during Sunday's 21-11 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Williams wasn't able to make much happen against New England's elite secondary, even with DeVante Parker (hamstring) having been forced off the field during the first half. Still, it's somewhat encouraging that Williams was able to command seven targets in his first return to action since suffering a torn ACL. He'll act as Miami's de facto No. 1 receiver if Parker is forced to miss any more time, though Week 2 will bring another difficult matchup against Buffalo.

  • Ready for opener

    Williams (knee) was a full participant in Friday's practice and does not have an injury designation for Sunday's season opener against the Patriots, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Williams began the week with back-to-back limited practices and was spotted with a wrap on his surgically repaired left knee, but he's fully expected to suit up Sunday in New England. DeVante Parker (hamstring) and Mike Gesicki (glute) also logged full practices, so Williams will join a Dolphins' receiving corps ready to begin the season at full health.

  • Gets in limited work Thursday

    The Dolphins listed Williams (knee) as a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Williams has reportedly remained setback-free since being cleared for full football activities earlier this summer after suffering a season-ending ACL tear midway through his rookie campaign. Though Williams' reps were capped for the second straight day, the Dolphins are believed to just be exercising extra caution with the wideout, who is expected to start opposite DeVante Parker (hamstring) in Sunday's season opener at New England.

  • Limited in practice

    Williams (knee) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: Williams put forth a strong training camp and has thus far avoided any setbacks in his recovery from surgery to repair a torn ACL, though the Dolphins have been managing his workload. The second-year wideout still looks on track to suit up against the Patriots this weekend, when he'll occupy a starting role across from DeVante Parker (hamstring). If he gets the green light to play Sunday, Williams may be subjected to a more limited snap count than usual.

  • Avoiding setbacks so far

    Williams hasn't had any issues with his surgically repaired knee during training camp, Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: It's still possible the Dolphins limit his workload early in the season, considering Williams will be only 10 months removed from ACL surgery when the team takes the field for Week 1. He appears on track for the starting job across from DeVante Parker, with both Schad and Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com highlighting Williams as one of Miami's top performers at training camp.

  • Practices after maintenance day

    Williams (knee) participated in Wednesday's practice after taking a maintenance day Tuesday, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Williams was cleared for football activities earlier this month, but coach Brian Flores disclosed Wednesday that the 23-year-old is on a maintenance plan. The wideout's status for Week 1 remains undetermined, but he at least appears to be progressing from his ACL tear exactly as the Dolphins anticipated. When healthy, Williams will start on the outside opposite DeVante Parker.

  • Cleared for football activities

    Williams (knee) has been cleared for football activities, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: This doesn't necessarily mean Williams will be a full go when the Dolphins put on pads in mid-August, but it does suggest he has a shot to be ready for the start of the regular season. Despite going undrafted last year, Williams earned a Week 1 starting job and was on pace for a 64-856-6 receiving line (120 targets) before an ACL tear ended his season Week 9. His best game was the one in which he suffered the injury, and he'd also shown some ability on special teams with an 11.5-yard average on…read more

    Williams (knee) expects to be ready for the start of the regular season, Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: It's a reassuring statement from Williams given the wideout tore his ACL in early November and is reportedly not yet participating in on-field workouts during the offseason, although he has started jogging. The undrafted rookie did put together a productive campaign prior to the injury, registering 32 receptions for 428 yards and three touchdowns in eight games as the primary receiving threat in the Dolphins' offense, so it stands to reason Williams should be another featured target in 2020…read more

    Williams (knee) isn't yet participating in on-field sessions during his offseason workouts but remains on pace to be ready for the start of the regular season, Adam H. Beasley and Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald report.

    Analysis: Williams, who is recovering from an ACL tear he suffered last November, has resumed jogging and should gradually increase the intensity of his running in the weeks to come before he gets the green light to take part in drills. While Miami remains optimistic the second-year wideout will be ready to go for Week 1, the coaching and medical staffs could use Williams cautiously in training camp and the preseason.

    Williams (knee) said Monday that he will "definitely" be ready for the start of the 2020 regular season, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: Williams continues to work back from an ACL tear that he suffered Nov. 3, as the team is hopeful that he'll be ready by training camp. A return by Week 1 would give the Colorado State product 10 months to complete his rehab program. Williams had a solid rookie season before getting hurt, posting 32 catches for 428 yards and three touchdowns through eight games. The team could be cautious with Williams, especially considering he'll turn 23 years old in late March, but he has a good chance to be…read more

  • Expects to play in 2020

    Williams (knee) doesn't yet have a timeline to return to the field, but he expects to play at some point in 2020, The Palm Beach Post reports.

    Analysis: Williams suffered an ACL tear Nov. 3, giving him 10 months to recover from surgery and complete his rehab program before Week 1 of 2020. It could be a close call, but he'll at least have youth on his side as he prepares for his age-23 season. The Colorado State product was an instant contributor as an undrafted rookie, with his stats from eight games prorating to a 64-856-5 receiving line on 120 targets over a 16-game campaign. Williams led the Dolphins in receiving yards at the time of his…read more

  • Placed on IR

    The Dolphins placed Williams (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Analysis: Williams' move to IR is merely a formality after reports surfaced a day earlier indicating the rookie sustained a torn ACL in Sunday's win over the Jets. The wideout will undergo surgery to address the ligament damage in his knee and may have a difficult time gaining full clearance ahead of training camp next July.

    The season-ending right leg injury Williams sustained in Sunday's win over the Jets was a torn ACL, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Dolphins initially termed Williams' injury as a sprained right knee at the time of his departure, but follow-up scans revealed that he had sustained a complete ligament tear. Williams was a standout performer in the Dolphins' first victory of the season, hauling in five of nine targets for 72 yards and two scores. The undrafted rookie will now face a lengthy rehab and recovery process that could jeopardize his availability for the 2020 season, but he's likely put himself in the Dolphins'…read more

  • Out for season

    Williams will miss the rest of the season due to a leg injury, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Williams suffered what was called a sprained right knee during Sunday's win against the Jets, which will cut his rookie campaign short after eight games. He's flashed so far in his brief career, hauling in 32 of 60 targets for 428 yards and two touchdowns. Per Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald, coach Brian Flores didn't offer a timetable on when Williams might be healthy, so there's a chance the wide receiver has to devote much of his offseason to rehab and recovery.

  • Will have MRI on Monday

    Williams suffered a sprained right knee during Sunday's win over the Jets and will have an MRI on Monday to confirm the diagnosis, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Analysis: The team will do additional testing to determine the extent of the damage, but the hope is it's no worse than a sprained knee. That would likely mean the undrafted rookie misses additional time, although the exact recovery timeline will be determined by the results of the MRI. This was Williams' best game of the season, as he posted five receptions for 72 yards and two touchdowns.

    Williams is questionable to return to Sunday's divisional tilt against the Jets due to a knee injury, Chris Perkins of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Williams also briefly left the field due to a wrist injury in the third quarter, but he managed to return in that instance. The rookie's second malady of the day now comes in the form of a knee issue, the severity of which caused him to be carted to the locker room. Given that Williams was forced out with less than eight minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, it appears probable that he won't return Week 9. Prior to leaving the field, Williams caught five of nine targets for 72 yards and two…read more
