Damien Williams: Cut with injury settlement
The Cardinals cut Damien Williams (foot) from the practice squad injured list with an injury settlement Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.The Cardinals made two cuts from their backfield Thursday, with the other one Tony Jones getting waived from the active roster. The combination of moves may mean James Conner (knee) is poised to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the Falcons, but Williams himself now must meet the terms of the settlement in order to find another opportunity elsewhere.

Cardinals' Damien Williams: Heads back to practice squad
Damien Williams (foot) reverted to the Arizona Cardinals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction report.Williams made an early exit from Sunday's loss to the Ravens late in the second quarter and was unable to return, finishing Week 8 with two carries for five yards and one catch (on one target) for four yards. Arizona has elevated him three times from the practice squad, so the team must sign him to the active roster in order for him to be a part of its backfield. Having said that, Williams' health might prevent that from happening in the short term.

Cardinals' Damien Williams: Injures foot Sunday
Damien Williams sustained a foot injury during Sunday's game against the Ravens, Darren Urban of the Arizona Cardinals' official site reports.With James Conner (knee) on injured reserve, Arizona has elevated Williams for three consecutive contests, but his touch count has wavered from nine Week 6 to one last Sunday and now three this week.

Cardinals' Damien Williams: Elevated for third straight week
The Arizona Cardinals elevated Damien Williams to the active roster Saturday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.Williams joined the Cardinals' practice squad Oct. 5 after being let go by the Raiders during training camp. He's been promoted and played in each of the last two games as a depth running back behind Keaontay Ingram and Emari Demercado, with James Conner (knee) on injured reserve since Oct. 10. Since this is the third time Williams has been elevated this season, the Cardinals would need to sign him to their active roster if they want to continue to play him for the rest of 2023.

Cardinals' Damien Williams: Heads back to practice squad
Damien Williams reverted to the Arizona Cardinals' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.In the wake of an IR stint for James Conner (knee), Arizona's backfield was in some flux, but Williams was elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game at the Rams to provide some veteran experience. While Keaontay Ingram got the start and the most touches (12) and undrafted rookie Emari Demercado had the largest snap share (43 percent), Williams received touches on the majority of his plays (eight of 13). Overall, Ingram racked up 51 yards from scrimmage, Williams had 44, and Demercado brought up the rear with 17. Conner must miss at least three more games, so Williams is a decent bet to continue getting game-day elevations for the next two contests.

Damien Williams: Finds new opportunity
Damien Williams signed with the Cardinals' practice squad Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.Williams hasn't seen consistent NFL action since his stint with the Bears in 2021 and is probably best remembered for his two seasons with the Chiefs in 2018 and 2019. The 31-year-old spent time with the Raiders in August, but he was unable to make their 53-man roster and has remained a free agent since. He'll give Arizona some extra organizational depth at running back while Keaontay Ingram continues to recover from a neck injury.
