Williams was released by the Raiders on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Williams spent the past two seasons in Oakland, recording 65 tackles and 1.5 sacks through 32 games. The 29-year-old should attract the attention of at least a handful of teams as training camp nears.

Williams notched three tackles (two solo) during Saturday's loss to the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

Throughout 16 games during the regular season, Williams recorded a career-low 17 tackles to go along with 0.5 sacks and one pass defensed. He has two years remaining on his contract with Oakland, and will look to improve upon a disappointing season in 2017.

Williams (foot) is active for Saturday's game against the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

Williams was a late addition to the Raiders' injury report after being limited in Friday's practice, but he'll give it a go Saturday. His presence is especially important given that fellow interior lineman Stacy McGee (ankle) will not play.

Williams will sign with the Raiders, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Williams has been a constant presence along the Cardinals defensive line for the past five seasons, but will change colors to black and silver for 2015. The defensive tackle hasn't done much to make him a valuable fantasy commodity, but finished 2014 with 31 tackles (20 solo), one sack and one pass defensed.

Williams took the field for 30 of the Cardinals' 64 defensive snaps in Sunday's victory at Dallas, FOX Sports 910 Phoenix reports. Williams' best game of the season aided in Arizona's defense corralling DeMarco Murray for the first time in 2014. In order to do so, coordinator Todd Bowles made the strategic decision to trot out a four-man front, and Williams responded with seven tackles (three solo), two tackles for loss, and one sack. If the Cardinals revert to their typical formations going forward -- either 3-3-5 or 3-2-6 -- Williams' time in the IDP spotlight could quickly evaporate, as he entered Week 9 with 12 tackles (10 solo) in the season's first seven contests.

Williams may play defensive end at times following the loss of Darnell Dockett (knee) for the season, the Cardinals' official site reports. "I played it a little bit last year toward the end of the season, trying to spell Calais and Dockett for a few reps," Williams said. "I'm definitely going to do anything the coaches ask me." Williams has been injured at times during his four-year career yet still averaged 31.3 tackles in 13.5 games per season. If he's rushing the quarterback away from his customary spot at nose tackle, there's a high likelihood that he adds to his meager sack total of one to date. However, even with additional responsibilities, his IDP prospects won't approach that of line mates Calais Campbell and Dockett's replacement Frostee Rucker.

Dan Williams (personal) will play and start Sunday's Week 5 game against the Panthers.

Cardinals NT Dan Williams (personal) will not play in Sunday's Week 4 game against the Bucs. Williams' father was tragically killed in a car accident while driving to see his son play against the Saints last week. The funeral is this weekend.

Cardinals NT Dan Williams' father was killed in a car accident while driving to New Orleans to see his son play. Williams is understandably not active Sunday in the wake of this horrific tragedy. His family lived in Memphis and often traveled to see him play for the Cardinals. Williams' mom and sister were also in the car. Their status is unknown.

Cardinals NT Dan Williams is questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints due to a personal matter. Williams did not travel with the team and his status for Week 3 is now up in the air. If Williams can't go, the Cardinals will start Frostee Rucker at nose tackle. Second-year DT Alameda Ta'amu could also be active for the first time since being claimed on waivers.
