Williams signed a reserves/future contract with the Texans according to a league source Monday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
After playing his 2020 campaign with the Giants, Williams has now signed a contract with Houston and will likely continue to contribute on special teams. Throughout the six games the cornerback participated in this season, he was battling a groin injury and recorded just one solo tackle.

Williams (ankle) is active Week 12 against the Bengals, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

The Giants activated Williams (groin) from injured reserve Saturday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams will return to action after a six-game hiatus. The 28-year-old played strictly on special teams through the first two games, but he could log some defensive snaps Sunday against the Football Team because Ryan Lewis (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Friday.

Williams (groin) was designated to return from injured reserve Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Giants now have 21 days to evaluate Williams' healthy before activating him from IR, and he's eligible to play Week 8 against the Buccaneers. Prior to the injury, Williams played exclusively on special teams and didn't make a tackle.

The Giants placed Williams (groin) on injured reserve Wednesday, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

Williams (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the 49ers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams has only played on special teams this season, so his absence shouldn't affect the team's passing defense. He'll look to get back on the field in Week 4's matchup versus the Rams.

The Giants re-signed Williams on Sunday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams was initially among New York's weekend roster cuts, but the team quickly brought him back to the regular-season roster. He stands to contribute on special teams and provide the Giants with cornerback depth. Williams only compiled 12 tackles in his last 32 games with Arizona, so he's not worth fantasy consideration in IDP formats.

Williams (shoulder) signed a contract with the Giants on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
With Darnay Holmes (lower body) tending to an injury, the Giants brought in Williams and KeiVarae Russell as added depth. Williams could make the 53-man roster with a strong ending to training camp, but he'll likely need to contribute on special teams, too.

Williams (shoulder) is expected to sign with the Giants upon passing a physical and necessary testing, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams would provide New York with much-needed veteran depth at cornerback. He spent all of 2019 on injured reserve due to a shoulder injury, so his signing with the Giants will be contingent on health.
