Yahoo Sports NFL on Savion Williams
From the article
On cutdown day in August, the Packers put second-year wide receiver Savion Williams on injured reserve to open up a roster spot; on Wednesday ahead of week five, Williams has returned to practice. Head coach Matt LaFleur announced Williams' return during his morning press conference, confirming that his three-week practice window will begin immediately.
STACKED’s take
Williams returns with 21-day activation window; role unclear behind Watson, Golden, Moore.
Second-year WR returned to practice Wednesday ahead of Week 5 with a three-week activation window; the Packers must move him to the 53-man roster within 21 days or he reverts to injured reserve for the season. Head coach Matt LaFleur indicated Williams may be activated as soon as this week for Sunday's game against Chicago, but his role remains uncertain given the entrenched depth chart: Christian Watson and Matthew Golden are firmly established as boundary receivers, Skyy Moore is the primary slot receiver, and Bo Melton and J. Michael Sturdivant occupy backup roles. Williams may serve as Watson's backup given his size-speed combination and blocking ability, with Melton potentially shifting back to slot receiver duties.
