Williams cleared waivers after being released by the Falcons to make room for wide receiver Taylor Gabriel.

The addition of Williams rounds out the Falcons practice squad at 10. The other practice squad members are running back Gus Johnson, cornerback Deji Olatoye, wide receiver J.D. McKissic, defensive end Nordly Capi, cornerback Devonte Johnson, nose tackle Joey Mbu, safety Sharrod Neasman, quarterback Matt Simms and tight end D.J. Tialavea.

In 2015, Williams played in 14 games for the Falcons and had 17 catches for 159 yards and two touchdowns.
