The Cardinals released Williams on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Williams started 31 games for the Bengals between 2018 and 2019, totaling at least 110 tackles in each season. However, he was held to just 85 snaps across 13 games in 2020. The 30-year-old safety will be immediately eligible to sign with another team.

Williams (undisclosed) has been activated off the non-football injury list, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports. Williams was expected to miss multiple weeks when he was first diagnosed with his unknown injury, but in an encouraging move, he has been activated off the non-football injury list. However, the 30-year-old is still not practicing with his new team. This may just be a precaution, but it is worth monitoring as the Cardinals approach their first preseason game on Aug. 13.

Coach Kliff Kingsbury said he expects Williams (undisclosed) to be out a couple weeks but doesn't have an exact timeline for the safety's return, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports. Williams is on the non-football injury list. It sounds like he has a chance of healing up in time for the Aug. 13 preseason opener against Dallas, but Williams' absence may extend beyond that point as well.

Arizona signed Williams to a one-year contract Monday. Williams brings eight years of experience to Arizona's secondary. He spent the entirety of his career to date in Cincinnati, where he was a starter from 2016-19 before being relegated to a depth role last season. Two of those years were spent working with defensive coordinator Vance Joseph.

Williams recorded one solo tackle in Sunday's 19-7 loss to the Dolphins. Williams' day ended early after the safety got into a scuffle in the second half and was ejected. He likely won't be suspended for his actions, meaning he'll be available in Week 14 against the Cowboys.
