Williams signed a contract with the Rams on Wednesday, ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams was with the Rams earlier this season prior to his stint in San Diego. It isn't clear he slots into defensive coordinator Gregg Williams' defense off the bat.

Williams was waived by the Chargers on Tuesday, Michael Gehlken of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams was released by the Chargers earlier in the season but was brought back by the team a little over a month ago. The cornerback has seen his defensive reps drop off in recent weeks with Brandon Flowers and Casey Hayward solidifying their roles as the team's starters.

Williams finished with seven tackles and one pass defended in Sunday's loss to the Raiders.

EDGE Analysis

Forced into action after injuries to Jason Verrett (knee) and Brandon Flowers (concussion), Williams and the rest of the beleaguered secondary held up about as well as you can expect. The 25-year-old likely shouldn't be a target for IDP owners unless he can see significant snaps on defense.

Williams signed with the Chargers on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

San Diego's fifth-round selection in 2013, Williams was eventually released just one day into the 2016 season before serving a short stint with the Rams. Now back with the Bolts, the diminutive cornerback will try to pick up where he left off at the end of last season when he accounted for turnovers on three straight possessions against the Broncos in Week 17.

Williams was released by the Rams on Saturday, ESPN's Alden Gonzalez reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams' release allowed for the Rams to promote fellow defensive back Isaiah Johnson from their practice squad. Williams hadn't yet appeared in a regular season game this season, but recorded 19 tackles (17 solo), one sack, five passes defensed, two interceptions, and two forced fumbles in 2015.

The Rams signed Williams to the team on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Williams spent training camp with the Chargers before being released during final roster cuts. The Rams were looking to acquire safety depth, which resulted in Williams' signing. The 25-year-old is entering his third season in the league.

Williams (concussion) is active for Sunday's game at Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

Williams is expected to start in place of Brandon Flowers, who was placed on injured reserve earlier this week.

Steve Williams is considered the early favorite to serve as the Chargers' nickel corner in 2014. Williams was having an impressive training camp as a rookie after being the 145th overall pick in last year's draft but suffered a torn pectoral in the preseason and missed the year. At 5-foot-9 and 181 pounds, he's probably limited to slot duties. The Chargers will look for an outside corner next week in the draft.

The Union-Tribune San Diego reports the Chargers "think very highly of" second-year CB Steve Williams. Williams was the 145th pick in last April's draft but missed his entire rookie season after suffering a torn pectoral muscle in the preseason. He was slated to assume nickel duties before the injury. At 5-foot-9, 181, Williams likely will be limited to covering the slot. CBs Richard Marshall and Crezdon Butler are free agents. 2013 free-agent bust Derek Cox is a strong candidate for release.

Chargers placed CB Steve Williams on injured reserve with a torn pectoral muscle, ending his season. Williams was a fifth-round pick out of Cal this past April. He was showing well before getting injured and will return to compete for a job in 2014.
