The player Williams filled in for, TreyVeon Henderson, was left out of the injury report this week.
Star wideout Jaxon Smith Njigba is still on the injury report after going down with a hamstring injury in Week 1 against Notre Dame. He attempted to come back in Week 3 against Toledo, but his snaps were limited and he hasn’t played since.
Offensive lineman Enokk Vimahi was the only other addition, but is still listed as a game time decision.
