From the article

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Sacked twice in Week 1; one defensive read, one pass protection breakdown.

Sacked twice by the Carolina Panthers in Week 1; first sack came on a play-action pass where outside linebacker Jaelan Phillips read the play and fired across to Williams before the throwing window opened, forcing Williams to protect the ball; second sack resulted from a defensive stunt where Williams scrambled into Princely Umanmielen after a gap opened due to center Garrett Bradbury's poor positioning and shoulder turn, creating a free run for the stunting linebacker.
