Kerwynn Williams: Let go by Detroit
Kerwynn Williams was released by the Lions on Thursday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.Williams didn't appear in a game for any team last season and then latched on with Detroit this spring on a reserve/future contract.

Chiefs' Kerwynn Williams: Suffers head injury
Kerwynn Williams was knocked out of Thursday's preseason opener against the Falcons with a head injury, BJ Kissel of the Kansas City Chiefs' official site reports.The exact severity of the issue hasn't been revealed, but Williams has likely gone through the concussion protocol to check if that is in play. Despite appearing in all 16 games last season for the Chiefs, Williams has a less-than-firm-grasp on a 53-man roster spot with Kansas City. An extended absence wouldn't work in his favor, but getting fully healthy is certainly the first priority.

Kerwynn Williams: Visiting with Chiefs
Kerwynn Williams is working out for the Chiefs, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Despite starting six games for the Cardinals last season, Williams doesn't seem to be drawing much interest on the backup running back market in free agency. He'd merely compete for a roster spot in Kansas City, where Kareem Hunt, Charcandrick West, Spencer Ware (knee) and Damien Williams (shoulder) are already on the roster. West ultimately may be a cap casualty, but there would still be ample competition for backup work, assuming Ware and (Damien) Williams make full recoveries from their respective injuries. (Kerwynn) Williams likely will have to settle for a contract around the veteran's minimum after averaging 3.6 yards on 120 carries and 6.2 yards on 15 targets last season.
