  10/14/2025 • By RotoWire

  The Jets cut Williams from the practice squad Tuesday, Susanna Weir of the team's official site reports. The move makes room on the Jets' practice squad for fellow wide receiver Trenton Irwin. Williams joined the Jets' practice squad Oct. 3 and was elevated for Week 5 loss to the Cowboys, when he returned five kickoffs for 133 yards and four punts for 41 yards across 12 snaps on special teams. Williams should garner interest from teams looking for another return option on special teams.

  Williams reverted to the Jets' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

It marked the first time Williams had been elevated to the Jets' active roster this season, and he could reprise his return role on special teams for Week 6 against the Broncos if Kene Nwangwu (hamstring) is unable to play.

  Williams signed a contract with the Eagles on Friday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports. Williams was limited to return duties with the Falcons in 2024, finishing the regular season with 408 kick-return yards and 185 punt-return yards across 17 games.
