  • Antonio Williams: Cut from practice squad

    Williams was let go from the Giants' practice squad Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Williams will return to the open market after rejoining the Giants' practice squad in late September. The running back could return to New York's practice unit if he doesn't get another opportunity elsewhere down the line.

  • Antonio Williams: Returns via practice squad

    The Giants signed Williams to the practice squad Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Williams was active for each of New York's past two games in a special-teams capacity, and he showed enough to earn a spot on the practice squad. The 24-year-old will operate in an emergency reserve role going forward.

  • Antonio Williams: Let go Tuesday

    Williams was waived by the Giants on Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

  • Giants' Antonio Williams: Busy in second preseason game

    Williams rushed five times for 26 yards and caught all seven of his targets for 46 yards in a 25-22 preseason win over the Bengals on Sunday.

    UDFA Jashaun Corbin led the Giants with nine carries in the contest, but Williams tallied only one fewer rushing yard on four fewer carries. The latter was also very active as a pass catcher, finishing second on the team with seven receptions and third with 46 receiving yards. Williams impressed in the team's first exhibition contest against New England last Thursday, rushing nine times for 61 yards and a touchdown, though Corbin was the more prolific receiver in that game. The two (along with Gary Brightwell, who didn't play Sunday due to an undisclosed injury) are battling for the role of No. 3 RB behind Saquon Barkley and Matt Breida (undisclosed), and Williams appears to have the inside track for the spot thus far, per Dan Duggan of The Athletic.

  • Giants' Antonio Williams: Rushes for TD in preseason opener

    Williams rushed nine times for 61 yards and a touchdown and added one catch on one target for minus-1 yard in a 23-21 preseason victory versus the Patriots on Thursday.

    Williams suffered a minor knee injury early in camp but was able to play in the exhibition opener and looked explosive, ripping off separate runs of 17 and 19 yards. He capped a nine-play scoring drive in the second quarter with a two-yard touchdown run up the middle. Williams is vying for a spot on the 53-man roster as the third-string running back behind Saquon Barkley and Matt Breida (undisclosed).

  • Giants' Antonio Williams: Injures knee in practice

    Williams appeared to suffer a left knee injury during training camp Tuesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Williams appeared to hurt his left knee while running routes during a 1-on-1 drill and was subsequently seen with the knee wrapped. He didn't return to practice for the remainder of the day. Williams is vying for a roster spot as the Giants' third running back, so missing any amount of time could considerably hurt his chances of making the roster.

  • Giants' Antonio Williams: Signs with Giants

    The Giants signed Williams to a reserve/future contract Thursday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

    Williams spent most of the last two seasons on Buffalo's practice squad, but he'll now land a new opportunity with the Giants. He's appeared in just one regular-season NFL game, and he rushed 12 times for 63 yards and two touchdowns.

  • Antonio Williams: Rejoins Bills' practice squad

    Williams was signed to the Bills' practice squad Tuesday.

    The running back was cut from the team's practice squad Dec. 30 but will make a prompt return just five days later. Williams will likely end the season without an appearance on the active roster, as the Bills have both Devin Singletary and Zack Moss operating as their two main backfield options going into the final stretch of the season.

  • Antonio Williams: Released from practice squad

    Williams was cut from the Bills' practice squad Thursday.

    Williams joined the Bills' practice squad at the beginning of September but didn't appear in any games. He'll now be able to seek out other opportunities.

  • Antonio Williams: Added to Bills' practice squad

    Williams (neck) was added to the Bills' practice squad Wednesday.

    Williams missed time during camp due to a neck stinger that he sustained in Buffalo's preseason opener against the Lions. The 23-year-old stood out in Week 17 last year when he recorded 12 carries for 63 yards and two touchdowns while hauling in his lone target for 20 yards.

  • Antonio Williams: Cut loose by Buffalo

    Williams (neck) was waived by Buffalo on Tuesday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Williams enjoyed a fantastic Week 17 for the Bills last season, scoring his first two NFL touchdowns, but that was when the team had injury issues at running back and had already secured the AFC East crown. A stinger didn't help his cause to try to make a run at a final 2021 roster spot, though the Bills likely planned to keep Taiwan Jones all along given the latter's special teams prowess. Williams is an option for the practice squad.

  • Bills' Antonio Williams: Still missing time

    Williams (neck) remained absent from Wednesday's practice session, Dante Lasting of the Bills' official site reports.

    Williams is in the running for one of the final running back spots, but he's probably on the outside looking in at this stage unless the Bills keep five backs. Devin Singletary, Zack Moss and Matt Breida all should have spots secured, and Taiwan Jones is valued for his contributions on special teams. Williams' injury isn't helping his cause.

  • Bills' Antonio Williams: Out Saturday

    Williams (neck) will not suit up for Saturday's preseason game against the Bears, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

    Williams is currently nursing a neck stinger. He has been sidelined since Monday, and the Bills will opt to err on the side of caution. He is firmly behind Devin Singletary, Zack Moss and Matt Breida on the depth chart, so a return sooner rather than later will be advantageous for his chances to make an impression.

  • Bills' Antonio Williams: Still out due to stinger

    Williams missed Monday's practice due to a stinger suffered in Friday's preseason win over Detroit, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    Sometimes players can return pretty quickly from stingers, so we'll see if Williams can get back to practice ahead of this week's preseason game against the Bears. With Devin Singletary, Zack Moss and Matt Breida seemingly locks to make the team, Williams may need to show something special on the field with time running short in order for the Bills to give him roster consideration.

  • Bills' Antonio Williams: Leaves Friday with stinger

    Williams suffered a stinger during Friday's preseason game at Detroit and is questionable to return, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Since he signed with the Bills as an undrafted free agent in May 2020, Williams has moved between the active roster and practice squad, seeing the field Week 17 last season via elevation. On 28 offensive snaps, he recorded 12 carries for 63 yards and two touchdowns while hauling in his only target for 20 yards. With Devin Singletary, Zack Moss (hamstring) and Matt Breida on the depth chart in front of him, Williams may have a tough path to the regular-season roster, especially with an injury in tow.

  • Bills' Antonio Williams: Remaining in Buffalo

    Williams signed a reserve/future contract with the Bills on Tuesday.

    Williams was one of 13 players to earn a future contract from the Bills this week. The running back made one appearance for the Bills in 2020, rushing for 63 yards and two scores on 12 carries in Week 17.

  • Antonio Williams: Shuffles back to practice squad

    Williams reverted to the Bills' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

    Williams was a healthy scratch for Saturday's divisional-round win over the Ravens. Devin Singletary commanded an 84 percent snap share, while T.J. Yeldon and Taiwan Jones rotated in. Williams likely will be called up again for the AFC Championship Game to serve as pregame injury insurance.

  • Bills' Antonio Williams: Not playing Saturday

    Williams (coach's decision) is listed as inactive for Saturday evening's divisional-round matchup against the Ravens.

    The 23-year-old managed to appear in one game with the team during the regular season, where he scored two touchdowns in the season finale. Devin Singletary, T.J. Yeldon and Taiwan Jones are expected to handle the backfield.
