Williams and the starters did not play in the Hall of Fame Game, but neither did the Houston Texans' starters.
The Bills announced Thursday their starters would play for a full quarter on Saturday.

"More of what we see now," Eberflus said. "He's been getting a lot of against our one defense."
Specifically, Eberflus said he wants to see Williams operate at a clean level.
"Really just the operation of it," Eberflus said. "No pre-snap penalties, just clean operation."
