The Broncos signed Williams to the active roster Tuesday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams was cut last Friday and landed on the Broncos' practice squad, but following news that Purcell (foot) is out for the season, Williams was brought back to the active roster. McTelvin Agim is expected to start at nose tackle moving forward, but Williams should handle a decent workload with Purcell out of the picture.

Williams was promoted to the Broncos' active roster Saturday, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams is being brought up to help provide depth on the defensive line. Starting nose tackle Mike Purcell (knee) is listed as questionable, so Williams could potentially get some run.

Williams signed a contract with the Chargers on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams spent training camp with the Saints after signing in May, but he didn't end up making the season-opening roster. The veteran defensive tackle provides some much-needed depth with Justin Jones (shoulder) and Brandon Mebane (knee) battling injuries.

Williams signed a contract with the Saints on Monday, according to the team's official site.
EDGE Analysis
The former 2013 first-round pick has failed to find consistency in the NFL, logging stints with the Broncos, Titans, Dolphins and Lions over the past six seasons. In 2018, he played in 14 games with four starts split between the Detroit Lions and Miami Dolphins and logged 14 tackles (eight solo). He'll now compete for a depth role on the Saints defensive line.

Williams signed a contract with the Dolphins on Wednesday, the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
In need of some defensive line help, the Dolphins added a pair of veteran bodies Wednesday in the form of Williams and Ziggy Hood. The duo should provide some depth for a defensive front that just lost the services of Vincent Taylor (foot) for the remainder of the season.

Williams was released by the Lions on Thursday, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams joined the Lions in March and had been operating as a depth defensive tackle. He didn't see a single regular season snap with Detroit through the first seven weeks of the year. The Lions traded for Damon Harrison this week, and Williams release corresponded to make room at the position. Williams will look to catch on with another team yet this year.

Williams signed a contract with the Lions on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Lions needed help at defensive tackle after failing to re-sign veteran Haloti Ngata, who was a critical piece of the Detroit run defense the last three years. Williams should be in the mix to compete for the starting job Ngata left behind, where his current competition only seems to be Akeem Spence. However, there's certainly a chance the team adds more talent at defensive tackle through the draft or free agency.

Williams was released by the Titans on Saturday, Paul Kuharsky of 104.5 The Zone Nashville reports.
EDGE Analysis
Signed to a three-year, $16.5 million contract last offseason, Williams made 11 starts in 15 games for the Titans, recording 20 tackles without a sack on 349 defensive snaps. The 2013 first-round pick has never lived up to his draft status, finishing with 29 or fewer tackles and three or fewer sacks in each of his five NFL seasons, despite playing at least 13 games each year. Williams will look to catch on elsewhere as a rotational lineman for early downs, while Austin Johnson could take on more snaps in Tennessee.

Williams was a limited participant at practice Tuesday due to the recent ankle surgery that he underwent, Terry McCormick of TitansInsider.com reports
EDGE Analysis
Williams recently underwent ankle surgery but it doesn't appear that he'll be hampered too much from the setback. The Titans expect Williams to be a full go in the coming days.
