Williams was injured the first game of the season last year with the Falcons and didn't play another game before getting released later in the season. He will look to get his career going again this year and land a reserve role. Williams can serve a backup role well because he has starting experience and can catch the ball well. Williams has at least 20 receptions all but two of the seasons he has played in the NFL. Williams has great speed and does his best work in space. He is a much improved inside runner. He also has good hands and looks the part of a three-down back.
FANTASY OUTLOOK: Williams is not draft material. He could get some playing time this year, but not consistent work at this stage of his career. He might get a few hundred total yards.

Arizona Cardinals running back Damien Williams (foot) has been released by the organization with an injury settlement. This doesn't come as a surprise with James Conner (knee) expected to make his return this week. That means, Williams short lived time with the Cardinals is coming to an end. This season, Williams has totaled 43 yards on 11 carries and was held without a score. It's uncertain if the 31-year-old will get a chance elsewhere, but he's not expected to have fantasy value even he signs with another team.
From RotoBaller
Arizona Cardinals RB Damien Williams (foot) was released from the practice squad with an injury settlement on Thursday, Nov. 9.
From TheHuddle
Arizona Cardinals WR Jeff Smith (undisclosed) and RB Damien Williams (foot) were placed on the practice squad injured list Tuesday, Oct. 31.
From TheHuddle
The Arizona Cardinals reverted running back Damien Williams (foot) to their practice squad on Monday, per the NFL's transaction report. Williams sustained a foot injury during Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Baltimore Ravens and did not return following his departure. The 31-year-old journeyman took a surprising amount of work in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams (nine touches for 44 yards) but has four touches for 11 yards across his latest two games. The Cardinals would have to sign Williams for him to be included on their active roster going forward, since they have promoted him from the practice squad three times this year. With James Conner (knee, IR) out for at least one more week, look for the re-emerging Emari Demercado to handle Arizona's lead-back role with Keaontay Ingram serving as a change-of-pace back in Week 9's dismal road matchup with the Cleveland Browns.
From RotoBaller
Arizona Cardinals RB Damien Williams reverted to the practice squad Monday, Oct. 30, after being on the active roster for the Week 8 game.
From TheHuddle
Arizona Cardinals RB Damien Williams (foot) left the Week 8 game against the Baltimore Ravens due to a foot injury, and he is considered questionable to return.
From TheHuddle
Arizona Cardinals running back Damien Williams (foot) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens. The 31-year-old would finish with just five yards off two carries and four yards off one catch if he doesn't return. But with Emari Demercado the primary rusher out of the backfield, Williams' status for the remainder of Week 8 won't impact fantasy managers much.
From RotoBaller
Arizona Cardinals OL Elijah Wilkinson (neck) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Saturday, Oct. 28. Also, WR Andre Baccellia was signed to the active roster from the practice squad while RB Damien Williams and DL Ben Stille were elevated from the practice squad.
From TheHuddle
Arizona Cardinals RB Damien Williams reverted to the practice squad Monday, Oct. 23, after being on the active roster for the Week 7 game.
From TheHuddle
Arizona Cardinals RB Damien Williams rushed once for just two yards in Week 7 against the Seattle Seahawks, and he had no receptions or targets.
From TheHuddle
Arizona Cardinals S Budda Baker (hamstring) was activated from the Reserve/Injured list, and CB Garrett Williams (knee) was activated from the Reserve/NFI list Saturday, Oct. 21. Also, RB Damien Williams and DB Bobby Price were elevated from the practice squad.
From TheHuddle
Arizona Cardinals RB Damien Williams reverted to the practice squad Monday, Oct. 16, after being on the active roster for the Week 6 game.
From TheHuddle
Arizona Cardinals RB Damien Williams rushed eight times for 36 yards and caught an 8-yard pass on his only target in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams.
From TheHuddle
Arizona Cardinals running back Damien Williams has been elevated from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game versus the Los Angeles Rams, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. His promotion comes on the heels of an injury to James Conner (knee) that left the Cardinals with a backfield of Keaontay Ingram, Emari Demercado, and Tony Jones Jr. The 31-year-old hasn't played meaningful snaps since 2021 and could end up being a healthy scratch on Sunday. Regardless of his status, Williams does not have fantasy appeal in any format.
From RotoBaller
Arizona Cardinals OL Dennis Daley (ankle) was activated from the Reserve/Injured list Saturday, Oct. 14. Also, RB Damien Williams and CB Bobby Price were elevated from the practice squad.
From TheHuddle
The Arizona Cardinals signed former Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams to their practice squad on Thursday. The Cardinals are looking for some more running back depth with Keaontay Ingram currently dealing with a neck injury. Ingram was inactive for the Week 4 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, so rookie Emari Demercado was forced to serve as James Conner's backup. Williams played in only six games with the Atlanta Falcons in 2022 and had just two carries for two yards. His best season came in 2019 with the Chiefs when he had a career-high 111 rushing attempts for 498 yards and five touchdowns. The 31-year-old is a long shot to become fantasy relevant in the desert.

Free-agent RB Damien Williams (Raiders) signed with the Arizona Cardinals practice squad Thursday, Oct. 5.
