Williams (knee) has been ruled active ahead of Saturday's game against Cleveland.

Williams will suit up on game day for the first time since going down with a knee injury against Tampa Bay in Week 12. The versatile defensive back has played multiple spots in the Saints' banged-up secondary this season. With top cornerback Marshon Lattimore (abdomen) and starting strong safety Marcus Maye (knee) both inactive versus the Browns, Williams should be in line for a very prominent workload Week 16.
