Kansas City cut Williams from injured reserve with an injury settlement Thursday, independent NFL journalist Aaron Wilson reports.
Analysis: Williams dealt with a groin injury early in camp but was healthy for the preseason opener against the 49ers. It is unclear if the groin issue is the reason for his latest trip to injured reserve. The 26-year-old is now free to sign with another team during the 2021 campaign. He has played in just one game since 2018, when he caught 17 passes for 171 yards and one touchdown across 10 contests for the Cardinals.

Aug 31, 2019 7:28 AM EST
Williams (undisclosed) caught his lone target for six yards in Thursday's preseason game against the Raiders.
Analysis: Williams was sidelined with a lower body, soft-tissue injury earlier in camp, but the fact he was on the field Thursday indicates he's recovered from the issue. The 24-year-old had 17 catches for 171 yards and one touchdown in 10 games last season, but he may have a tough time cracking the 53-man roster for 2019 following the additions of Andy Isabella, Hakeem Butler and KeeSean Johnson in April's draft.
Aug 16, 2019 7:32 AM EST
Williams (undisclosed) returned to practice Monday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Williams has been sidelined for the better part of a week with an injury that coach Kliff Kingsbury described as a "lower [body] soft-tissue" injury. Such issues are commonplace for players ramping up their activity in the early days of training camp, but it hit Williams at an inopportune time. With the addition of rookie wide receivers Andy Isabella (knee), Hakeem Butler and KeeSean Johnson in the offseason, Williams' battle for a roster spot already was in serious jeopardy. Then, on the day Williams returned to drills in some capacity, the Cardinals signed veteran outside receiver Michael Crabtree. Williams has his work cut out for him as August proceeds, but first he'll have to get past his current injury to be cleared for preseason action.
Aug 5, 2019 7:32 PM EST
Coach Kliff Kingsbury said Williams hasn't practice in training camp due to a "lower [body] soft tissue" injury, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Williams is already on the outside looking in for a roster spot in a crowded receiving corps, so he isn't helping the new coaching staff get a sense of his ability. Two seasons of intermittent tape also don't help, as the 2017 third-round pick has managed just 20 catches (on 53 targets) for 202 yards and one touchdown in 16 appearances. While the Cardinals may keep seven wideouts on the final 53-man roster, Williams likely is fighting for the very last one with Kevin White, Damiere Byrd and Pharoh Cooper.
Jul 31, 2019 11:20 AM EST
Williams is hoping to impress a new coaching staff, but he'll have competition from free-agent signing Kevin White and rookies Andy Isabella, Hakeem Butler and KeeSean Johnson, Kevin Zimmerman of 98.7 FM Arizona Sports reports.
Analysis: A 2017 third-round pick, Williams has caught just 20 of 52 targets for 202 yards and a touchdown in 16 career games. Coach Kliff Kingsbury is known for an offense that places a heavy burden on the wide receivers, but even so, it isn't clear where Williams fits in. The 24-year-old needs to make a strong impression during training camp and preseason just to keep his spot on the roster.
