Williams (thigh) is making progress in his return from the injury that prevented him from playing Sunday against the Lions.

Analysis:

Williams missed Sunday's game, as well as practice last Thursday and Friday, while dealing with a thigh concern. The Panthers' running back worked out Monday and will be evaluated as the week unfolds. Given that situation, Wednesday's injury report should offer the first glimpse toward Williams' availability for Week 3 against the Steelers.
