Raiders sign RB Damien Williams to bolster backfield depth

The Las Vegas Raiders added to their running back depth by signing Damien Williams, his agent announced Friday.

Terms of the deal for Williams were not disclosed. He adds a veteran presence as the team adjusts to the absence of Josh Jacobs (holdout). Fellow running backs Zamir White and Ameer Abdullah are also on the Raiders' roster.

Williams, 31, played in just one game last season with the Atlanta Falcons, carrying the ball twice for two yards before sustaining a rib injury. He spent most of his time on injured reserve before being released by the Falcons in December.
