The Packers placed Williams (back) on the reserve/PUP list Tuesday, Wes Hodklewickz of the team's official site reports.

The Bears claimed Jones off waivers from the Cardinals on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Jones spent his first three seasons in the league with the Bears but played fewer snaps each year before signing with the Cardinals in free agency.

Packers' Jacob Monk: Starting 2025 season on IR
The Packers placed Monk (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday with an injury designation, Wes Hodklewicz of the team's official site reports.
Monk is working through a hamstring injury that he picked up in mid-August, which is severe enough for him to start the regular season on IR. That means he'll be forced to miss at least the first four games of the season, making Week 6 against the Bengals on Sunday, Oct. 12 the earliest he can make his 2025 debut. Monk appeared in 10 games in 2024 but did not start in any of those contests.

Johnson (calf) was placed on injured reserve by the Bengals on Tuesday, though he was designated to return.

A sixth-round pick of the Bengals in 2024, Johnson made seven tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in nine regular-season games during his rookie campaign. He'll look to solidify a depth role once he's eligible to return after four games this year.
