Running back Antonio Williams is heading back to the Buffalo Bills, per a report from Ryan Talbot. Williams has had quite the spring and summer after being picked up as an undrafted free agent by the Bills following the 2020 NFL Draft.

With rosters doing a little trimming early this year, Antonio Williams was released by Buffalo on August 5. Two weeks later it was announced that Williams was joining his alma mater UNC as a student assistant coach while working toward his degree. While the Tar Heels are expected to be playing this year, one more chance to make it onto an NFL roster is a tough opportunity to pass up.

With roster cuts coming in just under one week and no preseason games to highlight his skills, Williams may be banking on a different path to the regular season. Zack Moss was listed as a non-contact participant during Sunday’s practice and Taiwan Jones has been missing time with a knee injury. With the injury to Jones seemingly more significant at the moment Williams’s return to Western New York is likely an insurance plan in the event the special teams ace can’t suit up for the regular season.

Poor guy

 


 

My guess is he will be back and forth a few times depending on the team needs.  It is a rough life for some of these guys and this year is going to be especially bad.  I expect the Bills will be moving people on and off the PS with regularity as minor injuries creep up to assure they have the depth they want.

So no Jonnothan Harrison, or is this just an insurance move?

Unsure because not sure if Harrison is a PS type or a rostered type. Not sure of his options but reportedly the Jets were looking for him to possibly come back at some point
