The announcement comes after starting running back David Johnson was forced out of Week 1’s contest and beyond with a wrist injury. Williams finished with five carries for 10 yards and a touchdown. He also caught one pass for two yards.

In 22 games as a running back, Williams has 555 yards and four touchdowns.

Williams, who is the team’s primary returner on special teams, will still handle the duties.

BA: Kerwynn Williams will continue to return kicks and punts.
