Falcons cut running back Damien Williams

The Falcons had a quiet offseason (outside of the quarterback position, of course) thanks in part to Atlanta’s shockingly limited cap space. Terry Fontenot was able to stack talent at certain positions, such as adding former Kansas City Chiefs and Chicago Bears running back Damien Williams.

If you forgot about Williams, that is understandable. Despite being only two seasons from his ~500 rushing yard and ~200 receiving yard season with the Chiefs in 2019, he never found a home in Atlanta’s surprisingly crowded running back depth chart. More problematic is that Williams was injured back in September and spent too much time on injured reserve.
