• Darrel Williams: Let go by New Orleans

  08/30/2023 • By RotoWire

  The Saints released Williams on Tuesday. Williams dealt with a groin injury last week but was let go without an injury designation Tuesday, so he appears to have moved past the issue. He'll now attempt to find another opportunity ahead of the 2023 campaign.

• Saints' Darrel Williams: Leaves practice

  08/22/2023 • By RotoWire

  Williams left Tuesday's practice early with a groin injury, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports. Williams signed with the Saints on Aug. 14 as a depth piece for a Saints' backfield that, at the time, was dealing with multiple injuries. He rushed for 102 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries in six games last season with the Cardinals before being placed on the team's injured reserve list in November with a hip injury. Williams is aiming to crack the Saints' final roster as a depth piece behind running backs Alvin Kamara, Jamaal Williams and Kendre Miller.

• Saints' Darrel Williams: Headed to New Orleans

  08/14/2023 • By RotoWire

  Williams signed a contract with the Saints on Monday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports. Williams had his season end early in 2022 after suffering a hip injury while with the Cardinals. Now, he'll come to New Orleans and provide some depth to a backfield that is dealing with multiple injuries. With Alvin Kamara (suspension) set to miss the first three weeks, along with Kendre Miller (knee) and Kirk Merritt (hamstring) currently ailing -- not to mention Eno Benjamin (Achilles) already going on IR -- it's been a rough camp for Saints running backs. Williams at least will provide some veteran depth during practice, while he'll aim to make the team's final roster.

• Cardinals' Darrel Williams: Heading to injured reserve

  11/02/2022 • By RotoWire

  The Cardinals placed Williams (hip) on injured reserve Wednesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports. Williams ended a two-game absence Week 8 at Minnesota and played 30 percent of the offensive snaps en route to seven touches for 14 total yards while working behind Eno Benjamin with James Conner (ribs) still sidelined. Per Urban, Williams was spotted on crutches after Sunday's contest and now will have to miss at least Arizona's next four games, meaning his next potential appearance is Dec. 12 against the Patriots. During Williams' time on IR, Benjamin, rookie sixth-round pick Keaontay Ingram and -- when healthy -- Conner will man the team's backfield.

• Cardinals' Darrel Williams: Tending to hip injury

  11/02/2022 • By RotoWire

  Williams didn't practice Wednesday due to a hip injury, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports. Williams put an end to a two-game absence this past Sunday in Minnesota, earning 30 percent of the offensive snaps and turning seven touches into 14 yards from scrimmage. In the wake of that appearance, however, a knee issue has been replaced by another health concern as the reason for his lack of activity at practice. Meanwhile, James Conner (ribs), who has missed the last three contests, was limited Wednesday, so he may be the better bet to be a part of the Cardinals backfield along with Eno Benjamin this Sunday against the Seahawks.
