Joins Colts' practice squad

Done in desert
The Cardinals cut Williams on Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The 2017 third-round pick hauled in 17 passes for 171 yards and one touchdown in 10 games last season, but failed to make the roster with a crowded receiver room. Williams could bring NFL experience and depth to another team this season.

Hauls in lone target
Williams (undisclosed) caught his lone target for six yards in Thursday's preseason game against the Raiders.
Analysis: Williams was sidelined with a lower body, soft-tissue injury earlier in camp, but the fact he was on the field Thursday indicates he's recovered from the issue. The 24-year-old had 17 catches for 171 yards and one touchdown in 10 games last season, but he may have a tough time cracking the 53-man roster for 2019 following the additions of Andy Isabella, Hakeem Butler and KeeSean Johnson in April's draft.

Back at practice
Williams (undisclosed) returned to practice Monday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Williams has been sidelined for the better part of a week with an injury that coach Kliff Kingsbury described as a "lower [body] soft-tissue" injury. Such issues are commonplace for players ramping up their activity in the early days of training camp, but it hit Williams at an inopportune time. With the addition of rookie wide receivers Andy Isabella (knee), Hakeem Butler and KeeSean Johnson in the offseason, Williams' battle for a roster spot already was in serious jeopardy. Then, on the day…read more

Tending to injury
Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Wednesday that Williams hasn't practiced in training camp due to a "lower [body] soft-tissue" injury, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Williams is already on the outside looking in for a roster spot in a crowded receiving corps, so he isn't helping the new coaching staff get a sense of his ability. Two seasons of intermittent tape also don't help, as the 2017 third-round pick has managed just 20 catches (on 53 targets) for 202 yards and one touchdown in 16 appearances. While the Cardinals may keep seven wideouts on the final 53-man roster, Williams likely is fighting for the very last one with Kevin White, Damiere Byrd and…read more

Battling for job
Williams is hoping to impress a new coaching staff, but he'll have competition from free-agent signee Kevin White and rookies Andy Isabella, Hakeem Butler and KeeSean Johnson, Kevin Zimmerman of 98.7 FM Arizona Sports reports.
Analysis: A 2017 third-round pick, Williams has caught just 20 of 52 targets for 202 yards and a touchdown in 16 career games. Coach Kliff Kingsbury is known for an offense that places a heavy burden on the wide receivers, but even so, it isn't clear where Williams fits in. The 24-year-old needs to make a strong impression during training camp and preseason just to keep his spot on the roster.

Notches 17 catches in 10 games
Williams compiled 17 catches (on 46 targets) for 171 yards and one touchdown in 10 games during the 2018 campaign. He also added one carry for nine yards.
Analysis: Since he was plucked by the Cardinals in the third round of the 2017 draft, Williams hasn't exactly had an ideal quarterback situation, but a horrid career catch rate of 37.7 percent (20 receptions on 53 targets) is more indicative of his own play than the four signal-callers (Carson Palmer, Blaine Gabbert, Sam Bradford and Josh Rosen) that have directed passes his way. Overall, Williams has been held to one or fewer catches in 16 appearances with the Cardinals, leaving him on the periphery of…read more

Minimal production in return
Williams brought in one of four targets for seven yards in the Cardinals' 31-9 loss to the Rams on Sunday.
Analysis: Williams' return after a six-game absence due to a hamstring injury was a dud, as he managed just a 25 percent catch rate while seeing both Trent Sherfield and Larry Fitzgerald outpace him in receptions by five apiece. Williams' second season has been just as disappointing as his rookie campaign, as he now has just 11 receptions on 31 targets for 113 yards and is sporting the same 10.3 YPC figure he generated a year ago. The Grambling product will look to finish out on a strong note versus the…read more

Ready to end six-game absence
Williams (hamstring) put in a full practice Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Williams is set to put a six-game absence to an end this weekend, though the extended break may force him to settle for a more limited role in the Cardinals' passing attack than he held prior to the injury. Even though he started each of the Cardinals' first eight games, Williams was one of the NFL's least efficient receivers, catching just 35.5 percent of the balls directed his way for 3.6 yards per target.

Limited practice Wednesday
Williams (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Williams has pushed the door ajar for a return with involvement in individual drills at both of the Cardinals' last two practices. He even got a semi-endorsement from coach Steve Wilks, who told Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com on Monday that he's "very hopeful" Williams will end a six-game absence this weekend against the Rams. In a receiving corps with plenty of targets to go around behind top option Larry Fitzgerald, only undrafted rookie Trent Sherfield has taken advantage of the situation this…read more

Trending up for Week 16
Coach Steve Wilks said he is "hopeful" Williams will be able to play Sunday against the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Williams has missed the last six games but finally returned to practice Friday for the first time since Nov. 30. The 24-year-old's status should receive further clarification once the Cardinals resume practice Wednesday, but he likely will need to practice fully by Friday if he is to avoid an injury designation, given his extended absence.

Unavailable again Sunday
Williams (hamstring) is listed as inactive Sunday at Atlanta, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Despite practicing for the first time since Nov. 30 on Friday, Williams' hamstring isn't healthy enough to clear him for a return to action. While he embarks on his sixth consecutive absence, the Cardinals' receiving corps will be Larry Fitzgerald and not much else Week 15.

Questionable for Week 15
Williams (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Atlanta, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Williams made his presence felt in practice for the first time since Nov. 30, so there appears to be a chance he'll stop his DNP streak at five games this weekend. If he does, he'll contend with Trent Sherfield for offensive snaps behind Larry Fitzgerald, but Williams' 3.8 yards per target as a pro doesn't offer much promise.

Spectator for practice again
Williams (hamstring) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Williams hasn't dressed for a game since Week 8, and his lack of practice participation Wednesday and Thursday doesn't offer much hope that his streak of absences will come to an end Sunday in Atlanta. Trent Sherfield will continue to benefit from added snaps and targets alongside top wideout Larry Fitzgerald while Williams is sidelined.

Remains sidelined at practice
Williams (hamstring) was held out of practice Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: After sitting out four games due to an ankle injury, Williams appeared set to take advantage of a receiving corps missing rookie Christian Kirk, who suffered a broken foot Week 13. Williams was listed as a full participant in every practice last week, but the Cardinals added him to the injury report Saturday with a hamstring issue. He carried a questionable designation into Sunday's loss to the Lions, ultimately garnering an inactive status for the fifth straight contest. With no reps to start…read more

Unavailable again Sunday
Williams (hamstring) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Lions, Darren Urban reports.
Analysis: Urban confirmed that Williams injured his hamstring in practice this week, which seems difficult to believe after he was listed as a full participant in each session. No matter how he picked up the injury, Williams will miss his fifth game in a row, the first four absences the result of an ankle issue. With Christian Kirk (foot) on IR, Williams is also missing out an opportunity to increase his relevance in the Cardinals offense. In Williams' stead, Trent Sherfield and J.J. Nelson are the best…read more

Listed as questionable
Williams (hamstring) has been added to the injury report and is questionable for Sunday's contest, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Williams' status appeared to be trending in the right direction as the 24-year-old was a full participant in practice all week, but the second-year wide receiver evidently suffered a setback, this time to his hamstring. It's certainly an untimely injury given rookie wideout Christian Kirk was placed on injured reserve earlier in the week after breaking his foot in the win Sunday over the Packers. Given Williams missed the previous four games with an ankle injury, there's a real possibility…read more

Logs full practice Wednesday
Williams (ankle) practiced fully Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Williams is getting healthy at an opportune time. His fourth consecutive absence Sunday in Green Bay coincided with rookie phenom Christian Kirk breaking his foot, ending the latter's season. Kirk averaged 5.7 targets per game, traffic that will now likely be directed toward Williams, among others. Whether Williams will be able to take advantage of the situation is another story. In 14 career appearances, he's managed just 3.8 yards per target.

Sidelined for fourth straight game
Williams (ankle) is listed as inactive Sunday at Green Bay, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Williams didn't progress beyond limited showings in practice this week, so the Cardinals will give him a bit more time to recover from the ankle injury that has so far resulted in four consecutive absences. Trent Sherfield and J.J.Nelson will continue to serve as the peripheral options in a wide receiving corps that is dominated by Larry Fitzgerald and Christian Kirk.

Takes questionable tag into weekend
Williams (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: The designation comes on the heels of limited participation in practices Wednesday through Friday. Because Williams hasn't suited up since Week 8, it's possible the Cardinals will want to see the wideout go through a full practice before clearing him to play, making it difficult to bank on him suiting up this weekend. A decision on Williams' status one way or the other should be known when the Cardinals release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. EST kickoff.

Restricted again in practice
Williams (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Williams has missed the Cardinals' last three games, so he may need to advance to full participation in practice for the team to sign off on his return to the lineup this weekend against Green Bay. Even if Williams shakes off the injury and reclaims a regular role in three-wideout formations, there probably won't be much fantasy value to mine here. He's averaging a deplorable 3.6 targets per game and has scored only once over eight appearances.

Limited in practice Wednesday
Williams (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: After missing three games due to an ankle injury, Williams is trending in the right direction toward a return. In the end, Williams is upholding coach Steve Wilks' comments from Monday, when Wilks told Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com that he's "very hopeful" the second-year wideout will be able to suit up for Sunday's game in Green Bay. Even if he does, though, Williams hasn't displayed much promise in his short career, averaging 3.8 yards per target across 14 contests.

Nearing return this week
Coach Steve Wilks said Monday that he's "very hopeful" Williams (ankle) will be able to play in the Cardinals' Week 13 game at Green Bay, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Williams has missed the last three games and hasn't even practiced since sustaining the ankle injury Week 8 against the 49ers. With that in mind, the 24-year-old would likely need to practice at least on a limited basis at some point between Wednesday and Friday to have a realistic chance at suiting up this weekend. Even if he plays, Williams won't make for an appealing fantasy option after averaging just 3.6 yards per target for the season and reaching the end zone just once in eight…read more

Williams (ankle) won't play Sunday against the Chargers, Mike Jurecki of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Still not practicing
Williams (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Williams missed the Cardinals' past two games and isn't on the right track to return to action in Sunday's road matchup with the Chargers. Trent Sherfield and J.J. Nelson essentially split the No. 3 receiver job in the Week 11 loss to Oakland, combining for just three targets behind starters Larry Fitzgerald and Christian Kirk. The Cardinals weren't getting much from Williams prior to that and haven't been getting anything better from his replacements.

Missing another game
Williams (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Given his woeful mark of 3.6 yards per target, Williams may not have a spot in the offense once he returns to health. The Cardinals used Trent Sherfield as their No. 3 wide receiver in last week's 26-14 loss to the Chiefs, but the undrafted rookie finished without a target on 39 snaps. Arizona might try to include Kendall Wright in its offensive game plan this week.

Remains sidelined at practice
Williams (ankle) didn't participate in practice Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Williams hasn't practiced due to the ankle injury since the Cardinals went on bye in Week 9. Until he fits in some activity on the practice field, the second-year wideout doesn't seem like a great candidate to suit up on gameday. In his place in the past Sunday's loss in Kansas City, Trent Sherfield (39 of 73 offensive snaps) surprisingly slotted in as the No. 3 wide receiver behind Larry Fitzgerald (70) and Christian Kirk (65). Meanwhile, J.J. Nelson earned 20 offensive snaps and Kendall…read more

Ruled out for Sunday
Williams (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Averaging just 3.9 targets per game and 3.6 yards per target, Williams has been one of the least effective starters in the NFL this season. His absence will free up snaps for some combination of J.J. Nelson, Kendall Wright and Trent Sherfield.

Remains sidelined Thursday
Williams (ankle) didn't practice Thursday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Williams continues to miss the Cardinals' on-field prep for Week 10 with an ankle injury. If he gets past the health concern and is able to suit up Sunday at Kansas City, he's not a great bet to produce. Despite earning the fifth-most targets (31) on the team this season, Williams' catch rate (35.5 percent) and YPT (3.6) are exceedingly poor.

Analysis: Williams seems headed for a non-participation listing on the Cardinals' practice report for the second straight day, giving him only one more opportunity to prove his health in advance of Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Even if Williams gains clearance to suit up and fill his normal duties as the Cardinals' No. 3 receiver, he hasn't provided much reason for fantasy players to insert him into weekly lineups with any confidence. Through eight games, he's reeled in just 11 of his 31 targets for…read more

Misses practice with ankle injury
Williams was held out of Wednesday's practice with an ankle injury, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Williams hasn't done much with the No. 3 receiver job this season, catching 11 of 31 targets for 113 yards and a touchdown while playing 78 percent of the Cardinals' offensive snaps. Even if his injury isn't serious, the Cardinals may eventually give some of his reps to J.J. Nelson, Kendall Wright or Trent Sherfield. It makes sense for a rebuilding team to take a long look at a recent third-round pick, but Williams has arguably been a detriment to quarterback Josh Rosen's development.
