Browns CB Greedy Williams set to make season debut vs. Patriots

Greedy Williams is set to make his season debut Sunday against the Patriots. According to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, the Browns have activated the cornerback from injured reserve. The team has also promoted cornerback Herb Miller and wide receiver Chester Rogers from the practice squad.

Williams suffered a hamstring injury that led to him being placed on IR in early September, and he returned to practice earlier this month. After missing the entire 2020 season with a shoulder injury, the former second-round pick started eight of his 16 games for Cleveland in 2021, collecting 41 tackles, 10 passes defended and a pair of picks. It won’t take long for Williams to make his way back into the lineup, especially with Denzel Ward ruled out for Sunday's game with a concussion.

“Everything has been crisp and clean,” Williams said of his recovery, via Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal. “Just out there making plays and re-establishing myself. I build that trust back with the team, and they see I am ready. That is all that matters.”

Miller will likely see a special teams role on Sunday, with the 24-year-old seeing only nine defensive snaps across 10 games with Cleveland over the past two years. Rogers joined Cleveland’s practice squad in September and has been active for two games, returning two punts and three kicks. The veteran is a year removed from a 30-catch campaign with Tennessee.
