Second-year wide receiver expected to see increased playing time following A.J. Brown's injury. Played 12 snaps in Week 1 opener, mostly in relief of Brown in the second half, but was not targeted by Drake Maye. Head coach Mike Vrabel said he wants to get Kyle involved and is hopeful he can find a role using his speed and catch-and-run opportunities, similar to what was seen last season and in preseason. Williams expressed confidence in his expanded role, stating he has more to offer beyond just speed and is ready to take advantage of opportunities as they present themselves.
