Jamaal Williams Making His Return Thursday Night

Jamaal Williams Making His Return Thursday Night

one year ago

New Orleans Saints running back Jamaal Williams (hamstring) is officially active for Thursday Night Football against the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars for the first time since Week 2 after he was activated from Injured Reserve earlier in the day. Williams was forced to miss four games after injuring his hamstring in Week 2. He's back now, but the Saints backfield is dramatically different than when Williams was healthy for the first two games of the regular season. Alvin Kamara is now New Orleans' clear workhorse back, and rookie Kendre Miller is also healthy as a complement. Williams will most likely be eased back in on Thursday night against Jacksonville, so we don't recommend him as a flex play in Week 7 in his first game back.
