Brandon Williams - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Signs with Texans Williams signed a reserves/future contract with the Texans according to a league source Monday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact After playing his 2020 campaign with the Giants, Williams has now signed a contract with Houston and will likely continue to contribute on special teams. Throughout the six games the cornerback participated in this season, he was battling a groin injury and recorded just one solo tackle.

Suiting up against Bengals Williams (ankle) is active Week 12 against the Bengals, Dan Sakomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Williams will be active despite popping up on Friday's injury report, but his role this season -- both before and after his IR stint -- has been exclusively on special teams.

Activated from IR The Giants activated Williams (groin) from injured reserve Saturday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact Williams will return to action after a six-game hiatus. The 28-year-old played strictly on special teams through the first two games, but he could log some defensive snaps Sunday against the Football Team because Ryan Lewis (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Friday.

Preparing to return from IR Williams (groin) was designated to return from injured reserve Tuesday.

Impact The Giants now have 21 days to evaluate Williams' health before activating him from IR, and he's eligible to play Week 8 against the Buccaneers. Prior to the injury, Williams played exclusively on special teams and didn't make a tackle.

Shifts to IR The Giants placed Williams (groin) on injured reserve Wednesday, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

Impact Williams missed Week 3 due to a groin injury, and he'll now need to spend at least the next three weeks on IR. He played purely on special teams during the first two games of the season.

Unavailable versus 49ers Williams (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the 49ers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Williams has only played on special teams this season, so his absence shouldn't affect the team's passing defense. He'll look to get back on the field in Week 4's matchup versus the Rams.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Back on active roster The Giants re-signed Williams on Sunday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Williams was initially among New York's weekend roster cuts, but the team quickly brought him back to the regular-season roster. He stands to contribute on special teams and provide the Giants with cornerback depth. Williams only compiled 12 tackles in his last 32 games with Arizona, so he's not worth fantasy consideration in IDP formats.

Officially signs with Giants Williams (shoulder) signed a contract with the Giants on Saturday.

Impact With Darnay Holmes (lower body) tending to an injury, the Giants brought in Williams and KeiVarae Russell as added depth. Williams could make the 53-man roster with a strong ending to training camp, but he'll likely need to contribute on special teams, too.
