Bills' Dorian Williams: Active in team drills
Williams participated in team drills Tuesday for the first time since the start of training camp, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Williams was sidelined in minicamp by a lower-body injury, but the 2023 third-rounder has progressed enough in his recovery to expand his workload in training camp practices. He's looking to build off a 2025 campaign in which he logged 63 tackles (29 solo), two pass defenses and one fumble recovery across 16 regular-season games (nine starts). Williams is competing against Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles and rookie fourth-rounder Kaleb Elarms-Orr for the starting job at inside linebacker next to Terrel Bernard.

Bills' Dorian Williams: Sidelined for minicamp
Coach Joe Brady said Tuesday that Williams (lower body) is nursing an injury, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Brady did not go into detail when speaking about the injury, but he did say that Williams is expected to be ready for training camp in July. In the meantime, veteran free agent acquisition Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles might get some looks with the first-team defense.

Bills' Dorian Williams: Production dips in 2025
Williams (neck) recorded 63 total tackles (29 solo) and two passes defensed over 16 regular-season appearances in 2025.
Williams was one of the Bills' best defenders in 2024, recording 117 total tackles across 618 defensive snaps. However, he played a smaller defensive role this season, logging just 63 stops over 431 defensive snaps in the regular season. Despite this, the Tulane product remained a key part of Buffalo's defense, as he tallied the fifth-most stops on the team and was an important special-teams contributor (258 snaps). Still on his rookie contract through the 2026 season, Williams, who left the Bills' divisional-round loss to the Broncos with a neck injury, could compete for a starting inside linebacker position this summer.

Williams (neck) has been ruled out for the remainder of Buffalo's divisional-round matchup versus the Broncos on Saturday.

Bills' Dorian Williams: Logs full practice Friday
Williams (knee) practiced in full Friday.
The third-year pro from Tulane was a limited participant in Thursday's practice due to a knee injury, but Friday's full session suggests he's moved past the issue. Williams has appeared in four games for Buffalo this season, recording 18 total tackles and one pass defended. Now back at full health, he's expected to start alongside Terrel Bernard in the Bills' linebacker corps in Monday night's matchup against the Falcons.

Bills' Dorian Williams: Limited to begin Week 6 prep
Williams (knee) will be a limited participant in practice Thursday, per head coach Sean McDermott, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Williams didn't practice at all prior to sitting out Buffalo's Week 5 loss to New England, so his limited participation in the team's first practice of Week 6 preparation is a step in the right direction. If healthy enough to suit up Monday against the Falcons, Williams would presumably return to his starting role at linebacker.

Bills' Dorian Williams: Ruled out for Week 5
Williams (knee) will not play in Sunday night's game against the Patriots, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
While the Bills are one of just two NFL teams off to a 4-0 start, the run defense has been poor with an AFC-worst mark of 164.3 rushing yards allowed per game. Fellow linebacker Matt Milano's (pectoral) status now takes on added import for Sunday's divisional matchup.

Bills' Dorian Williams: Absent from practice Wednesday
Williams (knee) did not practice Wednesday.
Williams logged a season-high 84 percent of the defensive snaps in last Sunday's win over the Saints, racking up six tackles (three solo) in the process. It's unclear when Williams suffered the injury, as this is his first time on the injury report this season.

Bills' Dorian Williams: Returns to practice
Williams (calf) returned to training camp on Wednesday, Alex Brasky of Bills Digest reports.
Williams injured his calf during the first week of training camp and has been held off the field for the past two weeks. His return to camp, still a month away from the regular season, is a good sign as the 24-year-old is a very important depth piece in Buffalo's defense. He totaled 117 tackles last season, starting 11 games with Matt Milano sidelined due to a biceps injury.

Bills' Dorian Williams: Working through calf injury
Williams (calf) did not participate in Friday's practice, Alex Brasky of SB Nation reports.
Williams injured his calf during a drill Thursday and was held out of Friday's session. It's unclear how severe the injury is, but given it's training camp, the Bills will likely play it conservatively with Williams, who hasn't missed a game since entering the league in 2023. He finished the 2024 regular season with 117 tackles (68 solo), one forced fumble and three fumble recoveries across 17 games.
