Panthers' DeShawn Williams: Following Evero to Carolina
Williams (knee) agreed to a contract with the Panthers on Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Over 17 regular-season games with Denver in 2022, the 30-year-old defensive tackle logged career highs in sacks (4.5) and defensive snaps (565) to go along with 37 tackles. Williams is expected to provide valuable depth alongside younger defensive tackles Derrick Brown and Shy Tuttle in Carolina.

Broncos' DeShawn Williams: Records two sacks
Williams recorded four tackles (two solo) and two sacks in Sunday's 10-9 loss to Baltimore.
The two sacks were Williams' first two of the season. Although he is listed as D.J. Jones' backup at nose tackle, he ended up seeing one more defensive snap (41). The 29-year-old also saw the field for two special-teams plays. He will look to carry that momentum into the team's Week 14 clash with the Chiefs.

He'll be relied on Sunday to push the pocket against Taysom Hill, who can be difficult to rush from the edge.
