The Giants signed Williams to the practice squad Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Williams was waived by the Giants on Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

Williams rushed five times for 26 yards and caught all seven of his targets for 46 yards in a 25-22 preseason win over the Bengals on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
UDFA Jashaun Corbin led the Giants with nine carries in the contest, but Williams tallied only one fewer rushing yard on four fewer carries. The latter was also very active as a pass catcher, finishing second on the team with seven receptions and third with 46 receiving yards. Williams impressed in the team's first exhibition contest against New England last Thursday, rushing nine times for 61 yards and a touchdown, though Corbin was the more prolific receiver in that game. The two (along with Gary Brightwell, who didn't play Sunday due to an undisclosed injury) are battling for the role of No. 3 RB behind Saquon Barkley and Matt Breida (undisclosed), and Williams appears to have the inside track for the spot thus far, per Dan Duggan of The Athletic.

Williams rushed nine times for 61 yards and a touchdown and added one catch on one target for -1 yard in a 23-21 preseason victory versus the Patriots on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Williams suffered a minor knee injury early in camp but was able to play in the exhibition opener and looked explosive, ripping off separate runs of 17 and 19 yards. He capped a nine-play scoring drive in the second quarter with a two-yard touchdown run up the middle. Williams is vying for a spot on the 53-man roster as the third-string running back behind Saquon Barkley and Matt Breida (undisclosed).

Williams appeared to suffer a left knee injury during training camp Tuesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams appeared to hurt his left knee while running routes during a 1-on-1 drill and was subsequently seen with the knee wrapped. He didn't return to practice for the remainder of the day. Williams is vying for a roster spot as the Giants' third running back, so missing any amount of time could considerably hurt his chances of making the roster.

Williams was signed to the Bills' practice squad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The running back was cut from the team's practice squad Dec. 30 but will make a prompt return just five days later. Williams will likely end the season without an appearance on the active roster, as the Bills have both Devin Singletary and Zack Moss operating as their two main backfield options going into the final stretch of the season.

Williams (neck) was added to the Bills' practice squad Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Williams missed time during camp due to a neck stinger that he sustained in Buffalo's preseason opener against the Lions. The 23-year-old stood out in Week 17 last year when he recorded 12 carries for 63 yards and two touchdowns while hauling in his lone target for 20 yards.
