Veteran running back and former LSU standout Darrell Williams has signed with the New Orleans Saints. Williams practiced with the team on Tuesday night.
In 2021, Williams rushed for 568 yards and six touchdowns with the Chiefs.
“He’s had some success in our league,” Allen said. “He had a really good workout the other day, moved around really well. He’s a big, physical runner. We felt like he’d be somebody that would be good to bring into the mix. We’ll see what he can do.” Coming off a 26-24 victory over Kansas City in their preseason opener, the Saints got Monday off before practicing on Tuesday night. They travel on Wednesday to Los Angeles, where they will remain until after the game on Sunday night.
NOTES: Allen said projected starting guard Cesar Ruiz, a 2020 first-round draft choice, left practice with a shoulder injury, but added, “I don’t expect it to be anything significant.” Allen said Taysom Hill — who plays tight end but also lines up at quarterback for designed QB runs, and also is the upback on punt team — strained an oblique muscle. Allen said that also appears to be a day-to-day injury.
