Packers WR Savion Williams returning to practice after starting season on IR
The Packers are returning receiver Savion Williams to practice on Wednesday. He missed the first four games while on injured reserve to start 2026.
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Savion Williams is set to return to practice after beginning the regular season on injured reserve due to an ankle injury. Coach Matt LaFleur confirmed Williams will practice on Wednesday, and while he did not rule out Williams playing against the Chicago Bears, it is uncertain if he will be activated to the 53-man roster.
Williams, a third-round pick in 2025, injured his ankle on August 21 against the Denver Broncos and missed the first four games of the regular season. The Packers have five receivers on their roster currently, but with Jayden Reed sidelined due to a neck injury, Williams could provide valuable gadget playmaking ability and return kickoffs for the team.
Williams also has experience playing as a downfield threat from the perimeter and caught 10 passes for 78 yards and a touchdown, along with 11 rushing yards in his rookie season.
