Falcons' James Smith-Williams: Season cut short by injury
In 10 games in 2024, Smith-Williams (lower leg) recorded 24 tackles (12 solo) including 1.0 sacks.
Despite playing fewer games and fewer defensive snaps than in either season, Smith-Williams collected more tackles than he did in each of his last two campaigns. That he was more productive must have made it extra frustrating when he was knocked out of the last seven games of the year due to injuries. He's set to become an unrestricted free agent during the offseason.

Falcons' James Smith-Williams: Likely out for Week 11
Coach Raheem Morris said Wednesday that Smith-Williams (upper body) probably won't play Sunday at Denver, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
Although it's not immediately clear when he picked it up, Smith-Williams is dealing with an upper body issue that looks like it's going to keep him out for at least one game. If he is sidelined, it could mean increased playing time for 2022 third-rounder DeAngelo Malone.

Smith-Williams has been getting first-team reps during training camp, Amna Subhan of the Falcons' official site reports.

Falcons' James Smith-Williams: Signs with Atlanta
Smith-Williams signed a one-year deal with the Falcons on Monday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Smith-Williams spent the first four seasons of his career with Washington, where he recorded seven sacks across 55 appearances. In 13 games last season, the 26-year-old logged 22 tackles and one sack. Smith-Williams should add depth at defensive end for the Falcons, and he'll likely slot in somewhere beind starters Ta'Quon Graham, Grady Jarrett (knee), and Zach Harrison (knee).

Commanders' James Smith-Williams: Records just 1.0 sacks
Smith-Williams recorded 22 tackles (11 solo) and 1.0 sacks across 13 games (seven starts) in 2023.
The 2020 seventh-round pick became a starter after the Commanders traded away fellow DEs Chase Young and Montez Sweat in October, but Smith-Williams then missed four straight games with a hamstring injury between mid-November and mid-December. When all was said and done, he'd actually recorded fewer snaps, tackles and sacks than in 2022, and now he's scheduled for unrestricted free agency with a resume that suggests he'll be looking for a backup role.
