Williams was added to the Redskins' roster from the team's practice squad. He will provide some depth at the linebacker position following the release of two fellow linebackers Tuesday.

The Cardinals have released Williams, the team's official site reports.

The 2013 Houston fourth-rounder has now been waived twice this month, with the Cards having trimmed two linebackers (Ernie Sims was released on Thursday) from their depth mix this week.

The Cardinals claimed Williams off waivers from the Texans on Saturday, ESPN.com reports.

Williams missed all of his rookie season with a ankle injury. He'll compete for a reserve linebacker spot.

Williams has been released by the Texans, ESPN's Tania Ganguli reports.

The 2013 fourth-rounder, who spent all of his rookie season on IR, was just activated from the Texans' PUP list, so his release comes as a bit of a surprise. He figures to catch on elsewhere in short order, assuming his health.

Williams passed his physical and has been added to the active roster, CSN Houston reports.

Williams had been on the Active Physically Unable to Perform list. He can now start practicing.

Texans placed OLB Trevardo Williams on injured reserve, ending his season.

It's unclear what Williams' injury is, but his leg got "rolled up" in the preseason finale. The fourth-rounder will spend his rookie year "redshirting" on injured reserve. He was ticketed for special teams in year one.
