Packers lose rookie S Evan Williams to hamstring injury vs. Jaguars

Green Bay Packers rookie safety Evan Williams injured his hamstring against the Jacksonville Jaguars and was ruled out for the rest of the game coming of half time.

Williams, a standout rookie for Jeff Hafley’s Packers defense, was replaced by rookie Javon Bullard.

Williams made two tackles before exiting the game. The rookie fourth-round pick of Oregon played every snap of the Packers’ win over the Houston Texans last week and was tracking towards another full-time role on Sunday in Jacksonville.

The Jaguars took advantage of Bullard on their go-ahead touchdown drive in the third quarter, with Christian Kirk beating Bullard for a 26-yard completion and Brian Thomas Jr. beating him for a 14-yard touchdown catch.

Williams produced an interception and forced fumble during the first seven weeks of the 2024 season.
