He finished with 23 total tackles (19 solo), one interception and two passes defended.[16]

On September 17, 2025, Williams was placed on injured reserve due to a knee injury he suffered in the team's Week 2 victory over the Carolina Panthers.[17] He was activated on November 3, ahead of the team's Week 9 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.[18]
