News

  • Sent packing by Cardinals

    The Cardinals released Williams on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Williams started 31 games for the Bengals between 2018 and 2019, totaling at least 110 tackles in each season. However, he was held to just 85 snaps across 13 games in 2020. The 30-year-old safety will be immediately eligible to sign with another team.

  • Off NFI list, not practicing

    Williams (undisclosed) has been activated off the non-football injury list, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Williams was expected to miss multiple weeks when he was first diagnosed with his unknown injury, but in an encouraging move, he has been activated off the non-football injury list. However, the 30-year-old is still not practicing with his new team. This may just be a precaution, but it is worth monitoring as the Cardinals approach their first preseason game on Aug. 13.

  • Multi-week absence likely

    Coach Kliff Kingsbury said he expects Williams (undisclosed) to be out a couple weeks but doesn't have an exact timeline for the safety's return, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Williams is on the non-football injury list. It sounds like he has a chance of healing up in time for the Aug. 13 preseason opener against Dallas, but Williams' absence may extend beyond that point as well.

  • Placed on non-football injury list

    Williams (undisclosed) was placed on the non-football injury list Tuesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Williams signed a one-year deal with the Cardinals earlier in the offseason but will have to wait to take the field with his new team. It's unclear what the issue may be, but he should have the chance to serve a significant role once he returns to health.

  • Joins forces with Cardinals

    Arizona signed Williams to a one-year contract Monday.

    Analysis: Williams brings eight years of experience to Arizona's secondary. He spent the entirety of his career to date in Cincinnati, where he was a starter from 2016-19 before being relegated to a depth role last season. Two of those years were spent working with defensive coordinator Vance Joseph.

  • Has suspension lifted

    Williams' one-game suspension was lifted by the NFL on Monday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Though the veteran safety will rejoin his teammates for the final three weeks of the regular season, his future with the organization remains up in the air. Williams is set to become an unrestricted free agent this winter, and he's yet to start a single game at strong safety after registering 15 starts during 2019. Ohio State product Vonn Bell offers a younger, albeit more expensive, option at the position.

  • Handed suspension from league

    Williams has been suspended one game for violation of the NFL's unnecessary roughness and unsportsmanlike conduct rules, Michael Signora of NFL Communications reports.

    Analysis: Williams stepped on the leg of Dolphins offensive guard Solomon Kindley during Sunday's loss to Miami, prompting the league to dole out discipline to the 29-year-old safety. The Georgia product has made 10 appearances this season, but he remains without a start after registering 15 during 2019. Vonn Bell's arrival via free agency has curtailed Williams' role, but now the veteran will be entirely unavailable Week 14.

  • Makes just one tackle

    Williams recorded one solo tackle in Sunday's 19-7 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Williams' day ended early after the safety got into a scuffle in the second half and was ejected. He likely won't be suspended for his actions, meaning he'll be available in Week 14 against the Cowboys.

  • Gearing up Sunday

    Williams (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game versus the Browns, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Williams was limited in practice all week and was expected to play all along, and he's officially in the lineup for Sunday's divisional clash. The veteran safety has averaged just 10 defensive snaps per game this year, as Vonn Bell and Jessie Bates have started at the position, so Williams is slated for a reserve role once again.

  • Questionable but should play

    Williams (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, but he's expected to be available, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: If he suits up, Williams should provide some depth in the Cincinnati secondary. Williams has five tackles in four games played this season.

  • Active at Philadelphia

    Williams (calf) is listed as active Week 3 against Philadelphia, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Williams appeared to have the backing of the coaching staff this week despite being limited in each practice session, but he'll ultimately end up taking the field for his season debut. The 29-year-old is coming off back-to-back 100-tackle seasons, but is expected to serve primarily in a depth role as he's eased back into action.

  • Officially questionable for Week 3

    Williams (calf) is considered questionable for Sunday's game versus the Eagles.

    Analysis: Coach Zac Taylor said Williams would be ready to make his season debut Sunday, but the team's injury report casts some doubt on his status. However, it does appear the 29-year-old safety is trending in the right direction, and if he indeed suits up, expect to see him line up on special teams with a rotational role on defense Sunday.

  • Will play in Week 3

    Williams (calf) will make his season debut Sunday in Philadelphia, per coach Zac Taylor, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: According to Taylor, Williams will play on special teams and serve in an evolving role on defense, so the amount of defensive snaps the safety plays will likely depend on how well his injury responds early in the game.

  • Back at practice

    Williams (calf) returned to practice Monday, Tyler Dragon of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Analysis: Williams didn't practice over the past two weeks, but now he's trending in the right direction. He's likely just operating in a limited capacity, and Wednesday's practice report will provide a better idea about his Week 3 availability. Williams may work in a reserve role when he returns to game action, as Vonn Bell is likely the No. 1 strong safety.

  • Won't play Thursday

    Williams (calf) is ruled out for Thursday's game in Cleveland, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Williams will miss a second straight game due to his lingering calf injury. As long as he's unable to go, Brandon Wilson will continue to serve as the primary backup to Vonn Bell.

  • DNP to start week

    Williams (calf) didn't participate in Monday's practice, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Williams sat out of Week 1's loss to the Chargers, and he could miss a second straight game to start the season. Considering he hasn't practiced with the team since suffering the injury Aug. 18, it appears he's trending toward another night on the sidelines.

  • Unavailable for season opener

    Williams (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Chargers, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Williams will miss his first game since the 2017 season, but he was expected to lose the starting job to Vonn Bell despite another season with 100-plus tackles. With Williams ruled out, Brandon Wilson will be the primary backup for Bell and Jessie Bates, and Williams will look to shake off the injury quickly before Week 2's Thursday matchup versus the Browns.

  • Misses practice Wednesday

    Williams (calf) didn't participate during Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Williams needed to be carted off the practice field Aug. 18 due to the injury, and, as evidenced by this news, he's still feeling the effects from the issue. The fact that he wasn't able to log any practice time isn't a great sign for his Week 1 availability, and if he's forced to miss time, more snaps would be given to Vonn Bell and Brandon Wilson at safety.

  • Still working on side

    Williams (calf) will not participate in Sunday's scrimmage, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Williams is considered week-to-week due to a calf injury he suffered Aug. 18, the severity of which required him to be carted off the practice field. He'll have two weeks to get ready for the season opener Sept. 13 versus the Chargers.

  • Week-to-week with calf injury

    Williams (calf) is considered week-to-week, Marisa Contipelli of the Bengals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Williams was carted off the field last week due to a calf injury, so it's not surprising that this is a serious issue. His status for Week 1's matchup against the Chargers is in danger, and Vonn Bell is locked into a starting workload if that's the case.

  • Working on side

    Williams, who was carted off Tuesday with what has now been identified as a calf injury, is working on the side, Richard Skinner of WKRC Local 12 reports.

    Analysis: The Bengals can scarcely afford another major injury in their secondary, with Trae Waynes already out with a pectoral injury.

  • Carted off practice field

    Williams was carted off the field at practice Tuesday due to an undisclosed injury, Tyler Dragon of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

  • Kept instead of Kirkpatrick

    The Bengals decided to keep Williams on the roster instead of Dre' Kirkpatrick in the wake of their free agency moves in the secondary, Chris Rolling of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: Williams has a cheaper price tag than Kirkpatrick and can play multiple positions, though his stint as a linebacker last year was more of a last resort and didn't go all that well.

  • Career-high tackles in 2019

    Williams recorded 114 tackles (80 solo), one sack, three defended passes and one interception aross 16 regular-season games in 2019.

    Analysis: Williams played an every-down role at strong safety for the Bengals in 2019, surpassing 1,000 defensive snaps in a season for the first time in his career. He's on track to reprise a similar role for Cincinnati in the 2020 season, giving him respectable value in IDP formats.

    Analysis: Williams entered this contest averaging 7.2 tackles per game, and this was the third time in four weeks that the veteran finished with three tackles. It has been a disappointing stretch for Williams, but he sits at 97 tackles on the year and is within reach of his career high (110).

    Analysis: Williams has played in all 13 of of the Bengals' games so far this season, including 12 starts. He is now up to 56 tackles (39 solo) an one interception. The 28-year-old will look to continue producing in Week 15 versus the Patriots.

  • Snags first interception

    Williams recorded an interception to go along with three tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 16-14 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Williams' interception was his first of the season. He recorded a career-high five last season, so 2019 has been relatively underwhelming thus far. Still, the 28-year-old will look to carry that momentum into Week 13 when the Bengals welcome the Jets to town.

    Analysis: It's unclear when Williams sustained this injury, as he played all 70 defensive snaps in this past Sunday's loss to the Raiders. The veteran will aim to elevate to full participation by Friday. If Williams is unable to go, Clayton Fejedelem and Brandon Wilson are waiting in the wings for potential usage increases.
