Williams unlikely to reclaim the number one kick returner job from Skyy Moore, who has averaged 27.5 yards on kickoff returns (14th out of 50 qualifying NFL players) and 16 yards on punt returns (8 attempts for 128 yards). Williams' rookie kickoff return average of 25.6 yards per attempt was nearly two yards below Moore's current average, suggesting Moore has a firm handle on the role moving forward.NegativeDepth ChartOct 7, 2026
Second-year wide receiver returned to practice Wednesday ahead of Week 5 with a 21-day activation window; head coach Matt LaFleur indicated potential activation as soon as this week for Sunday's game against Chicago Bears. Williams' role remains uncertain given the Packers' entrenched boundary receiver pair (Christian Watson and Matthew Golden) and Skyy Moore's established primary slot receiver role. The source suggests Williams may serve as Watson's backup given his size-speed combination and blocking ability, but the Packers appear content with their top three options; Melton and Sturdivant combined for just 12 of 120 wide receiver snaps in Week 4.NegativeInjurySep 28, 2026

Williams did not play with the second-team offense at all vs. the Broncos, with no injury reported; the team may be treating him as a starter and sitting him after the first-team unit got shut down. He also did not return kicks to start the game, a role he previously played in Week 1.NegativeDepth ChartAug 22, 2026

Williams, a second-year third-round pick, is assessed as an unrefined wide receiver prospect who 'doesn't quite' merit mention as a receiver. The source characterizes him as 'a gigantic athlete who was still learning the nuances of the position' pre-draft and notes that a year later with half a season of evidence, he still appears unrefined—'more like a super athletic dude that someone put in a uniform.' Neyor and Sturdivant both look better equipped to contribute, and if Williams can't figure out how to play like an actual receiver instead of a 'Tyler Ervin-esque gadget man,' he may not remain on the roster long despite low cut chances as a third-round pick.PositiveRoleAug 14, 2026
Receiver Savion Williams was one of the team's top kick returners in the Packers' preseason opener, alongside running back Pierre Strong Jr., ahead of receiver Skyy Moore; Williams' role suggests he has earned consideration for special teams duties.PositiveBreakoutAug 12, 2026
Williams has been overlooked in the Packers' WR reconstruction despite being in a similar situation to second-year first-rounder Matthew Golden; the source notes he was a forgotten man after playing only a gadget role on 91 snaps in 2024 before injuries ended his season. However, with Skyy Moore now handling return duties and gadget work, Williams can focus on developing as a traditional wide receiver—addressing the main knock from his TCU days that he was a magnificent athlete who hadn't yet learned WR nuances. The source reports 'a few impressive catches have people buzzing about Williams' potential again' in camp, suggesting he's showing signs of life and could become a powerful addition to the Packers' WR room if he can prove he can execute actual wide receiver skills.NegativeDepth ChartAug 11, 2026

Second-year WR showed significant improvement in training camp on Sunday, delivering multiple highlight-reel plays with the starting offense including a 60-yard touchdown bomb on a go route and a slant-route score; earned player-of-the-day mention from beat writers for one of his best practices as a Packer, demonstrating progress from his limited rookie impact when buried on the depth chart.PositiveUsageAug 9, 2026
Receiver Savion Williams had a strong practice on Sunday, catching five balls in team periods including the play of the day: a 60-yard bomb from third-string quarterback Kyle McCord where he came free off the snap and gained a few steps on Kristian Welch; he also nearly had a one-handed grab earlier.NegativeDepth ChartAug 8, 2026

Receiver Savion Williams had a nice catch on a contested slot fade touchdown from Tyrod Taylor, high-pointing the ball against safety Kitan Oladapo.

Receiver/returner Savion Williams was not involved in the kick return period as he was getting checked by the medical staff, though he later returned to practice. Williams was the Packers' preferred kick returner in the regular season last year, though Jacobs and cornerback Keisean Nixon handled those duties in the postseason.NegativeRoleJul 27, 2026
Wide receiver depth chart and role advancement is uncertain for 2026; the Packers must determine whether Savion Williams can step up and secure the WR4 role, which would impact his fantasy relevance and playing time.
