Packers' Jamaal Williams sprained knee, facing extended absence

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams has a sprained knee and is expected to "miss time," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

What It Means:

Williams suffered the injury early in the second quarter Thursday night shortly after replacing Ty Montgomery (ribs) as the Packers' lead back. It sounds like this will be a week-to-week type of injury for the fourth-round rookie. In the meantime, Aaron Jones will take over as Green Bay's starting running back, followed by Aaron Ripkowski and fellow rookie, seventh-rounder Devante Mays.

Williams rushed 4 times for 11 yards in Week 4 before exiting. Per numberFire Live, he finished last on the Packers with -1.50 Rushing Net Expected Points (NEP), meaning a league average running back would have scored 1.50 more points than Williams did if put in similar situations. For reference, Montgomery led the team with 1.37 Rushing NEP.
