The Texans brought Williams in for a workout Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams, who was let go last week by the Panthers, is drawing interest from several NFL teams. That the Texans had him in suggests they are not yet settled at wide receiver after bringing in several options at the position during free agency and the draft.

Williams was released by the Panthers on Thursday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams played Week 18 for the Panthers after spending the entirety of their season on the practice squad, but he saw only two offensive snaps and failed to see a target. The 26-year-old had also previously spent three seasons with the Dolphins. He will now need to seek out a new opportunity.

The Panthers elevated Williams from the practice squad Saturday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams has spent the entirety of the 2022 campaign on Carolina's practice squad after being released as part of the Dolphins' final preseason-roster cuts. The 25-year-old, who logged six catches on 16 targets for 71 yards across eight games last season, should be in line for his Carolina debut heading into Sunday's regular-season finale versus New Orleans. Expect Williams to slot into a reserve role alongside wideouts Rashard Higgins and Andre Roberts.

Williams was signed to the Panthers' practice squad Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams found a new home in Carolina after he was let go by the Dolphins prior to the NFL's 53-man active roster deadline last Tuesday. The 6-foot-5 receiver played in eight games in each of the last three seasons, collecting 56 receptions, 787 yards and seven receiving touchdowns in that span. He'll figure to add depth for Carolina's WR corps and is a candidate for promotion or elevation to the active roster if the team is bothered by injuries throughout the 2022 campaign.

The Dolphins waived Williams on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams won a starting job as a rookie undrafted free agent in 2019 but never got back on track after major injuries cut short his first two seasons. He's played only 24 games in three years, and the Dolphins reportedly weren't able to trade him. The 25-year-old could nonetheless get a shot with another team at some point.

Williams is a potential trade candidate for the Dolphins and has had limited opportunities during training camp, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams has been outshone by rookie fourth-round pick Erik Ezukanma and undrafted free agent Braylon Sanders throughout training camp, while the likes of Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Cedrick Wilson are entrenched atop the depth chart. Considering the fact that Williams hasn't proven an ability to contribute on special teams, he could be left on the outside looking in for a roster spot in Miami. Despite Williams being a capable depth piece, it's unclear whether another organization would be tempted to part with future draft capital in order to trade for him.

Williams is re-signing with Miami on a one-year contract, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams is a 2019 UDFA who started seven of eight games as a rookie (32-428-3 on 60 targets) before suffering an ACL tear midway through the season. He then started seven of eight games again in 2020 -- albeit with lesser numbers (18-288-4) -- before suffering a season-ending foot injury. In 2021, Williams again played only eight games (three starts), but on account of smaller injuries and a few healthy scratches. After finishing last season with six catches for 71 yards, the soon-to-be 25-year-old wideout figures to compete for a depth role in 2022. Jaylen Waddle, DeVante Parker and recent free-agent signing Cedrick Wilson are Miami's projected starters at wide receiver.

Williams (coach's decision) was inactive for Miami's win over the Patriots in Week 18.

EDGE Analysis

Williams only suited up for eight games in 2021, as he was often a healthy scratch. In those appearances, he secured just six of 16 targets for 71 yards. The 24-year-old once looked like an ascending young talent for the Dolphins and potentially a locked-in starter, but since bursting onto the scene as a rookie in 2019 he's found himself steadily being eased out of the picture. Williams will be a restricted free agent this offseason.

Williams (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

Williams missed Week 17 while on the reserve/COVID-19 list and is now a healthy scratch for the season finale. The 24-year-old will finish the 2021 campaign with six catches for 61 yards in eight games and will be a restricted free agent at the start of the offseason.

Williams (illness) fully participated in Thursday's practice session, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice after he was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday. However, he should be available Sunday against the Patriots since he practiced without limitations Thursday.
