Report: Bills to re-sign RB Antonio Williams

Buffalo Bills rookie running back Antonio Williams is re-signing with the team.

As training camp winds down this week, the Buffalo Bills are reportedly re-signing a running back who was released earlier this month. That player is former undrafted rookie free agent Antonio Williams.

Williams was cut by the Bills on Aug. 5 to make room for two players who came off their Reserve/ COVID-19 list. The running back’s return was reported by Syracuse.com. Ironically enough, the Bills currently have some roster space because of a few moves recently made by the team. One of which was cornerback Ike Brown retiring and he was previously one of the two players Williams helped make room for earlier this month when he was cut.

After Williams was released by the Bills prior to ever even getting on the practice field, he returned to the University of North Carolina where he was working as a graduate assistant coach. Currently the Bills have a few dinged up backs which could allow Williams a brief opportunity to impress.

Rookie Zack Moss was in a non-contract red jersey during Sunday’s practice due to a neck injury. Special teams ace and rusher Taiwan Jones and international back Christian Wade have also missed time due to knee and quad injuries, respectively.

Williams previously played college ball at Ohio State being transferring to UNC.
