The Arizona Cardinals announced Thursday the team has signed veteran running back Damien Williams to the practice squad.
Williams was most recently with the Atlanta Falcons for a short stint in 2022 where he recorded just two carries for two yards.
The running back started his career in 2014 with the Miami Dolphins where he played for four seasons. He appeared with the Kansas City Chiefs for two seasons where he won a Super Bowl, missed the 2020 season, and played one year with the Chicago Bears in 2021.
He has appeared in 98 games (16 starts) and has 336 carries for 1,397 yards and 14 touchdowns to go along with 154 receptions for 1,209 yards and 11 touchdowns in his career.
