The Packers lost rookie S Evan Williams to a hamstring injury against the 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 after halftime.

Williams, a rookie standout 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 out of Oregon played every snap of the Packers’ win over the Houston Texans last week and was eyeing another full-time role Sunday in Jacksonville.

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

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