Packers

• Adam Schefter reports that MRI results came back negative on Packers RB Jamaal Williams‘ knee.
• According to Schefter, Williams has no ligament damage and the injury is “purely muscular.”
• Williams could miss the team’s Week 5 game against the Cowboys, but it’s unlikely he’ll be out any longer than that.

Ravens

• The Baltimore Ravens officially ruled out DT Brandon Williams on Sunday.
• Ravens HC John Harbaugh said of Williams’ status: “It’s a matter of weeks when he got hurt. I’ll have my fingers crossed in the upcoming week or two.” (Jeff Zrebiec)
