The Kansas City Chiefs will reportedly pick up the option on running back Damien Williams, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Williams is set to make $2.3 million in 2020 on the remainder of the two-year, $5.1 million deal he signed last offseason. If he had been released, his contract would've cost the Chiefs just $533,334 against the cap, per Spotrac.

The 27-year-old only totaled 711 yards from scrimmage during the 2019 regular season but was especially valuable down the stretch and in the playoffs.
