• Dexter Williams: Waived by Packers

  08/30/2022 • By RotoWire

  Williams was waived by the Packers on Tuesday, Matt Lombardo of Heavy On Sports reports. Williams failed to make the team after he turned 11 carries into 60 yards this preseason. Additionally, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports that the running back isn't expected to return to Green Bay's practice squad, so he'll be looking for a new team.

• Packers' Dexter Williams: Returns to Green Bay

  08/10/2022 • By RotoWire

  Williams signed a contract with the Packers on Wednesday, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports. Williams most recently played in the USFL for the Philadelphia Stars, but he started his professional career with the Packers. The 2019 sixth-round pick made seven appearances during his first two seasons with Green Bay, totaling 17 offensive snaps and 62 special-teams snaps. The Packers aren't planning on playing Aaron Jones or AJ Dillon during the preseason opener, and Kylin Hill (knee) remains on the PUP list, so the 25-year-old Williams will likely operate as an emergency back behind Patrick Taylor, Tyler Goodson and B.J. Baylor against the 49ers on Friday.
