The Rams signed Williams off the Vikings' practice squad to the active roster Friday. The move adds depth to the Rams' defensive line after Larrell Murchison was placed on injured reserve for the second time this season Friday due to a broken foot. Williams spent the first three years of his NFL career with the Rams, but he opted to sign a one-year deal with the Vikings in March. He was unable to make Minnesota's 53-man roster at the end of training camp, but he opted to stick around on the practice squad and was elevated for Week 2 against San Francisco. Williams is back in Los Angeles, and because he was signed off a different team's practice squad, he is required to remain on the Rams' active roster for at least the next three games.

Williams logged 49 tackles (20 solo), 2.0 sacks and one pass defended during the 2023 regular season over 17 games played. Williams saw his snap count uptick slightly from 2022, but he turned into a run-stuffing surprise for the Rams and logged a career high in tackles, notched his first career pass defense and quintupled his career sack total in the process. Williams is a restricted free agent but showed enough that the Rams may choose to bring him back for a fourth season with the team.

Williams was signed to the Rams' practice squad Tuesday, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports. Williams was with the Rams earlier this season but was waived in early November. He was claimed by Minnesota but then failed a physical and will now land back on the Rams' practice squad. In eight games this season with Los Angeles, Williams recorded five tackles in eight games.
