Williams played the last two seasons with the Cardinals, appearing in 12 total games combined between regular season and postseason. He rushed for 411 yards in those 12 games, and scored one touchdown on 90 carries.
Williams was among the Cardinals’ final cuts in early September.
Johnson rushed just six times in the Cardinals loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday for 34 yards, while rushing just twice for five yards the game before that.
Johnson missed the latter part of last season after fracturing his tibia against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12.
