Bengals' Trayveon Williams: Makes debut on offense
Trayveon Williams played seven of the Cincinnati Bengals' 74 snaps on offense but didn't log any touches in Sunday's 41-24 win over the Raiders.Through the Bengals' first eight games of the season, Williams' snaps had come exclusively on special teams, but he saw his first action on offense Week 9 with Zack Moss (neck) ruled out for the contest. Chase Brown started and dominated the snaps (59) while handling all of the running-back opportunities (27 carries, five receptions), leaving no touches for either Williams or practice-squad call-up Kendall Milton (five snaps). Moss is expected to miss the rest of the regular season due to his injury, but Williams could move back into a pure special-teams role Week 10 versus the Ravens after the Bengals acquired Khalil Herbert from the Bears on Tuesday. Herbert is expected to immediately step in as the top complement to Brown, who is still likely to take on heavy workloads in the weeks to come.

Bengals' Trayveon Williams: Limited to special-teams role
Trayveon Williams played 14 snaps -- all on special teams -- in Monday's 38-33 loss to the Commanders.Williams has been active for each of the Cincinnati Bengals' first three games, but he has yet to make his 2024 debut on offense while Cincinnati has turned to Zack Moss and Chase Brown to handle all the running-back snaps. His standing as a part-time kick returner and core member of the Bengals' special-teams coverage units should allow Williams to continue to suit up on a weekly basis, but he may not be guaranteed a substantial role out of the backfield even if one of Moss or Brown were to miss time.

Bengals' Trayveon Williams: Back with Cincinnati
The Cincinnati Bengals re-signed Trayveon Williams on Thursday.Williams has returned to the Bengals' 53-man roster after he was released Wednesday to make room for K.J. Henry, whom Cincinnati picked up off waivers. The sixth-year running back remains firmly behind Chase Brown and Zack Moss on the Bengals' depth chart, so he's expected to be used primarily as a special-teams player in 2024.

Trayveon Williams: Cut by Cincy

His departure leaves Zack Moss and Chase Brown as the only healthy running backs on Cincinnati's roster, and Charlie Jones may be tasked with returning kickoffs in addition to punts.

Bengals' Trayveon Williams: Starts preseason loss
Trayveon Williams had six carries for 22 yards and two catches for 19 yards in a preseason loss to the Bears on Saturday.Williams got the start with Zack Moss and Chase Brown among the many Cincinnati Bengals rested. There's not much fantasy appeal to a 2019 sixth-round pick who has mostly played special teams to this point in his career, but Williams at least appears on track for a back-end roster spot after fellow running back Chris Evans suffered a season-ending knee injury a few days earlier.

Bengals' Trayveon Williams: Staying with Bengals
Trayveon Williams is signing a one-year contract to stay with the Cincinnati Bengals.There was some discussion last offseason about Williams potentially replacing Samaje Perine as Cincy's No. 2 running back, but the 2019 sixth-round pick mostly continued to play special teams. Williams' 156 snaps on offense were easily a career high, but that equated to only 14.4 percent of the team total, whereas on special teams he took 64.2 percent of available snaps (294 overall). He has 77 touches for 381 yards and no touchdowns in 51 career games, and he'll likely be the third-string RB again in 2024.

Bengals' Trayveon Williams: No touches against Steelers
Trayveon Williams failed to record a single rush or target in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Steelers.Williams played just eight snaps against the Steelers, which was his lowest total of the season. Sunday marked the fourth time the veteran running back did not earn a carry in a contest this season. With that said, Cincinnati did not commit to the run in the game, as starter Joe Mixon recorded just eight rushes, while quarterback Jake Browning handled three carries of his own. With Mixon cemented as the Cincinnati Bengals' top option out of the backfield, Williams has an uphill battle to earn more opportunities. Williams is nothing more than an insurance policy as the Bengals head into a Week 13 matchup with the Jaguars.

Bengals' Trayveon Williams: More of the same
Trayveon Williams had two carries for 20 yards while playing 17 offensive snaps in Thursday night's loss to the Ravens.While Williams garnered a few more snaps than usual due to the Cincinnati Bengals' big deficit in the fourth quarter, that didn't translate to more touches because they were throwing the ball nearly every play. Chase Brown just got designated to return from IR, so in a week or two Williams might have more competition behind Joe Mixon.
