Williams rushed nine times for 61 yards and a touchdown and added one catch on one target for minus-1 yard in a 23-21 preseason victory versus the Patriots on Thursday.
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).
