News

  • Will play Week 16

    Williams (knee) has been ruled active ahead of Saturday's game against Cleveland.

    Analysis: Williams will suit up on game day for the first time since going down with a knee injury against Tampa Bay in Week 12. The versatile defensive back has played multiple spots in the Saints' banged-up secondary this season. With top cornerback Marshon Lattimore (abdomen) and starting strong safety Marcus Maye (knee) both inactive versus the Browns, Williams should be in line for a very prominent workload Week 16.

  • Remains out

    Williams (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Falcons, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: Williams failed to make substanial progress during the team's Week 14 bye and will remain sidelined for a second straight game due to a knee injury he suffered on the first defensive snap of Week 12. In his absence, Bradley Roby and Alontae Taylor are candidates for increased snaps in the slot, though Taylor may have to operate as a starter again if Marshon Lattimore (abdomen) remains out.

  • Won't play Monday night

    Williams (knee) is listed as out for Monday's game at Tampa Bay, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Williams was forced out of New Orleans' loss at San Francisco in Week 12 early with a knee injury, and he'll now have to miss at least one game as he recovers. The Saints will probably need to lean more heavily on starters Tyrann Mathieu and Marcus Maye at safety in Williams' absence.

  • Forced out with injury

    Williams (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the 49ers.

    Analysis: Williams recorded one tackle before exiting, and he was seen heading to the locker room early in the first half, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. With the veteran safety's return up in the air, expect Daniel Sorensen and Justin Evans to step up into bigger roles against San Francisco.

  • Logs 11 tackles in start

    Williams recorded 11 tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Williams notched a team high in tackles while starting in place of injured strong safety Marcus Maye (abdomen). The 29-year-old also lined up on 100 percent of New Orleans' defensive snaps for the second time this season, and he now has 22 tackles (15 solo) and two passes defended over six games. Williams has played multiple positions over seven seasons in the Saints' secondary, so this versatility should continue to net him consistent playing time moving forward.

  • Expected to start Sunday

    Williams is expected to start Sunday's matchup against Pittsburgh in the absence of Marcus Maye (abdomen), Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Williams played just nine defensive snaps during Week 9, which was his first action since Week 4, but the veteran cornerback will be thrust into an expanded role with Maye out. In his only other start this season (Week 3), Williams recorded six tackles and two pass defenses while playing every defensive snap for New Orleans.

  • Will play Sunday

    Williams (illness) is active Sunday against the Steelers.

    Analysis: Williams popped up on the injury report Friday after not being able to practice due to the illness. He'll help bolster to team's depth at secondary against Pittsburgh.

  • Listed as questionable

    Williams (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Williams was a full participant in practice Wednesday and Thursday but was unable to practice Friday due to his illness. If he's unavailable in Week 10, Chris Harris and Alontae Taylor should see increased work.

  • Returns to action

    Williams (quadriceps) is active Monday against the Ravens.

    Analysis: Williams will see his first action since Week 4 against the Vikings, and he's fresh off injured reserve, having just been added back to the 53-man roster Monday. His return should be a boon for the Saints secondary, as Marshon Lattimore (abdomen) will remain out.

  • Activated from injured reserve

    The Saints activated Williams (quadriceps) from injured reserve Monday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Williams suffered a quadriceps injury during Week 5 prep and was placed on IR. He was designated to return Thursday, and after being added to the 53-man roster, he's in line to return to action Monday against the Ravens, though his official status won't be known until New Orleans releases its inactives list.

  • Designated to return

    The Saints designated Williams (quadriceps) to return to practice from IR on Thursday.

    Analysis: Williams landed on injured reserve with a quadriceps injury ahead of New Orleans' Week 5 contest against the Seahawks. Now, the 30-year-old defensive back will have a 21-day window to practice before the Saints have to restore him to the active roster, or else he'll revert to IR for the rest of the season. Williams was emerging into a prominent role in the team's secondary prior to the injury, and his first opportunity to play again will come in Monday's matchup versus Baltimore.

  • Placed on IR

    The Saints placed Williams (quadriceps) on injured reserve Saturday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Williams had already been ruled out for Week 5 due to the quadriceps issue, but he'll now be forced to miss at least four games after landing on injured reserve. In his absence, veteran cornerback Chris Harris has been elevated to the active roster, though he'll likely serve a depth role behind Paulson Adebo, Bradley Roby and Marshon Lattimore.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Williams (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Seahawks, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.

    Analysis: Williams didn't practice all week, so his status for Sunday doesn't come as a surprise. While the Saints' top three cornerbacks -- Marshon Lattimore, Paulson Adebo and Bradley Roby -- are healthy, New Orleans will have limited depth in its secondary for Sunday's matchup against DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.

  • Sticking with Saints

    Williams (ankle) has re-signed with New Orleans on a one-year contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Williams will remain with the Saints for an eighth consecutive season. The veteran safety has handled a rotational role over the last two years, and he stands to reprise a similar gig during the 2022 campaign.

  • Won't play Week 18

    Williams (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons.

    Analysis: Williams suffered the injury last week against the Panthers and will be sidelined for the final game of the regular season. Jeff Heath and J.T. Gray should see more work in the secondary for New Orleans.

    Published: Fri, Jan 7 at 1:33pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Questionable to return

    Williams (ankle) is questionable to return Sunday against the Panthers.

    Analysis: Williams went to the locker room after suffering the injury, but he has returned to the sideline. The seven-year pro has been a consistent contributor in the secondary, stepping up when needed. While he's out of the game, Jeff Heath will likely receive extra work.

    Published: Sun, Jan 2 at 3:26pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Makes most of depth role

    Williams had one pass deflection and one interception during the Saints' win over Washington in Week 5.

    Analysis: Williams only played 24 percent of defensive snaps versus the Football Team, but he made an impact when on the field. Of course, as a result of his low weekly tackling floor, Williams doesn't possess much fantasy utility in IDP formats.

    Published: Thu, Oct 14 at 7:00am by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Suiting up Week 2

    Williams is listed as active ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Panthers, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Williams played 21 defensive snaps during Week 1 and registered one tackle and one pass defense. The 28-year-old may see an increased role in Week 2 with Marshon Lattimore (hand) inactive.

    Published: Sun, Sep 19 at 9:00am by Rotowire.com

  • Back in action

    Williams (undisclosed) has been removed from the non-football injury list and is participating in training camp, John DeShazier of the Saints' official site reports.

    Analysis: Williams spent the first two days of training camp on the NFI list due to an unspecified soft-tissue injury. Now cleared to play, the versatile 28-year-old will look to carve out a role in a secondary that has little at cornerback behind Marshon Lattimore.

  • Moves to NFI list

    The Saints placed Williams on the non-football injury list Wednesday due to an unspecified "soft-tissue" injury, Larry Holder of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: General manager Mickey Loomis indicated that Williams isn't expected to face a lengthy absence. The 28-year-old will have a couple weeks to get healthy for the Saints' preseason opener Aug. 14 against the Ravens.

  • Staying in Big Easy

    Williams re-signed with the Saints on a one-year contract Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Williams will return to New Orleans on a deal worth $2.3 million guaranteed. He was a quality rotational player for the Saints last season, and when asked to step into a larger role he performed adequately. As long as he's stuck in a depth role, however, Williams won't be a strong candidate for fantasy relevance in IDP formats.

    Published: Thu, Mar 18 at 12:21pm by Rotowire.com

  • Respectable 2020 campaign

    Williams recorded 40 tackles (31 solo), two passes defended, two fumble recoveries and an interception across 15 regular-season games in 2020.

    Analysis: The fifth-year man provided quality play for the Saints despite playing his fewest snaps since his rookie season. Williams is set to become an unrestricted free agent in 2021, making his future with New Orleans unclear.

  • Practices without limitations

    Williams (hamstring) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Williams' hamstring injury kept him from suiting up Week 1 against the Buccaneers, but he now looks fully healthy. He's on track to play a key role in New Orleans' secondary against the Raiders on Monday, both as the primary backup to Janoris Jenkins and as a regular coverage option out of the slot.

    Published: Thu, Sep 17 at 3:33pm by Rotowire.com
    More news and analysis available atNFL.com
  • Inactive Week 1

    Williams (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's Week 1 tilt against the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: The fifth-year pro will therefore be unavailable to help the Saints secondary defend the Tom Brady-helmed Buccaneers offense. When healthy, Williams is expected to play an important role as a third corner and as Janoris Jenkins' primary backup at left cornerback.

    Published: Sun, Sep 13 at 12:26pm by Rotowire.com

  • Questionable to face Bucs

    Williams (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's tilt against Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Williams wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, but he's now been limited in back-to-back practices due to a hamstring injury. If Williams does manage to suit up Week 1, he stands to primarily handle snaps out of the slot.

  • Shines in training camp

    Williams was the Saints' standout on Day 1 of training camp, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

    Analysis: Williams picked off Jameis Winston and forced a Dwayne Washington fumble, making him the star of New Orleans' first day of training camp. Coach Sean Payton echoed that sentiment by saying, "He's one of those players that I think has good football IQ. It's good to give him some additional work." Williams re-signed with the Saints in April and is playing on a one-year contract. He'll look to improve on a disappointing 2019 season in which he only forced one turnover.

  • Re-ups in Big Easy

    Williams signed a one-year, $2 million contract with the Saints on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Williams' deal is reportedly fully guaranteed. The versatile cornerback appeared in 14 regular-season tilts in 2019 (eight starts), during which he played primarily out of the slot. Due to his lack of big-play upside and tackle consistency, Williams doesn't carry much fantasy value in IDP formats.

    Published: Thu, Apr 2 at 5:45pm by Rotowire.com

  • Underwhelming 2019 campaign

    Williams finished 2019 with 44 tackles (34 solo), 1.0 sacks and an interception.

    Analysis: Williams finished 2019 with a three-year low in tackles while forcing just one turnover in the campaign. He started just eight of 14 regular-season games in which he appeared, and he'll be a free agent in 2020 after playing out the last year of his rookie contract.

    Published: Tue, Jan 7 at 3:05am by Rotowire.com

  • Grabs interception in win

    Williams managed three tackles (all solo) and an interception in the Saints' 34-17 blowout victory over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Williams was one of four Saints who picked off Jameis Winston in the blowout victory, and it was the former's first of the season. Williams has been solid for New Orleans, but -- with just one sack and one interception to his name -- he's not a reliable IDP play.
