Coach John Harbaugh confirmed that Williams will have a spot on the initial 53-man roster, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports. "You do the math, he's there," Harbaugh said Monday. "He'll be out there playing, and he's ready to go."
After making a push this summer to replace Justice Hill as the No. 3 running back, Williams may even enter Week 1 as the No. 2. The Ravens lost J.K. Dobbins to a torn ACL on Saturday, leaving Gus Edwards as the only back on the roster with more than 70 NFL carries. Williams is a 2020 UDFA who spent his rookie season on Baltimore's practice squad, and he'll likely be ticketed for single-digit carries if he does have a part in the game plan Week 1 at Las Vegas.
