Williams (collarbone) reached an injury settlement with the Texans on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams originally landed on IR after breaking his collarbone in the Texans' third exhibition. Given his blazing speed, it wouldn't be a surprise if he resurfaces with another team this season.

Williams (collarbone) was placed on IR Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Williams landed on IR following his clearance of waivers. Even at full strength, it's tough to envision a scenario where he cracks onto the first-team offense.

Williams (collarbone) was waived/injured by the Texans on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Williams spent most of 2016 on the practice squad, but he was promoted to the active roster for the final three games and caught three passes for 75 yards. Expect him to clear waivers and be placed on injured reserve with the possibility of an injury settlement when he's healthy.

Williams suffered a broken collarbone during Saturday's preseason matchup against the Saints, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
No timetable for a return has been declared as of yet, though Williams is relatively near the bottom of the pecking order as a wide receiver, so the injury likely won't have too many fantasy implications. That said, it could open up more opportunities for the likes of Dres Anderson and Bruce Ellington.

Williams was active for Sundays game against the Jaguars and caught two of three targets for 34 yards in Houston's 21-20 win in Week 15.
EDGE Analysis
Williams was promoted to the active roster from the practice squad earlier in the week and was pressed into duty. The Texans had a new look passing attack Sunday after head coach Bill O'Brien yanked an ineffective Brock Osweiler for Tom Savage. The change resulted in a different targret distribution, which included getting some balls to Williams. It's unknown at this point if O'Brien will keep Savage as the starter, but if he does, Williams could sneak in as the third wideout ahead of Keith Mumphery

The Texans promoted Williams from the practice squad to their active roster Tuesday, the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Texans wanted to add another receiver to the roster with Braxton Miller (shoulder) no lock to play this week, so they decided to bring up Williams from the practice squad. Williams will slot in at the bottom run on the depth chart, but he should be plenty familiar with the Texans' playbook, having spent all but a couple months with the team since signing with them as an undrafted free agent earlier this year.

EDGE Analysis
The Texans added a wide receiver after it was announced Jaelen Strong would miss at least a month with a sprained ankle. Williams was with the team during the offseason and was part of the final cuts.

Williams was cut by the Texans on Friday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams was essentially fighting for a special teams spot given how deep the Texans currently are at wide receiver. If Williams does now get looks from other teams, it will likely be as a kick or punt returner.

Williams returned punts during Houston's first training camp practice Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The speedy Williams, an undrafted free agent out of the University of the Cumberlands, has an extra gear he's showing off in camp and will get an opportunity to earn a regular job on special teams.
