Moves to NFI list The Saints placed Williams on the non-football injury list Wednesday due to an unspecified "soft-tissue" injury, Larry Holder of The Athletic reports.

Impact General manager Mickey Loomis indicated that Williams isn't expected to face a lengthy absence. The 28-year-old will have a couple weeks to get healthy for the Saints' preseason opener Aug. 14 against the Ravens.

Defensive back P.J. Williams likes comfort zone he has with New Orleans Saints 'We equally have a great understanding of where I am in my career and where I'm trying to go'

Staying in Big Easy Williams re-signed with the Saints on a one-year contract Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Williams will return to New Orleans on a deal worth $2.3 million guaranteed. He was a quality rotational player for the Saints last season, and when asked to step into a larger role he performed adequately. As long as he's stuck in a depth role, however, Williams won't be a strong candidate for fantasy relevance in IDP formats.

Respectable 2020 campaign Williams recorded 40 tackles (31 solo), two passes defended, two fumble recoveries and an interception across 15 regular-season games in 2020.

Impact The fifth-year man provided quality play for the Saints despite playing his fewest snaps since his rookie season. Williams is set to become an unrestricted free agent in 2021, making his future with New Orleans unclear.

Practices without limitations Williams (hamstring) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Williams' hamstring injury kept him from suiting up Week 1 against the Buccaneers, but he now looks fully healthy. He's on track to play a key role in New Orleans' secondary against the Raiders on Monday, both as the primary backup to Janoris Jenkins and as a regular coverage option out of the slot.

Inactive Week 1 Williams (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's Week 1 tilt against the Buccaneers.

Impact The fifth-year pro will therefore be unavailable to help the Saints secondary defend the Tom Brady-helmed Buccaneers offense. When healthy, Williams is expected to play an important role as a third corner and as Janoris Jenkins' primary backup at left cornerback.

Questionable to face Bucs Williams (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's tilt against Tampa Bay.

Impact Williams wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, but he's now been limited in back-to-back practices due to a hamstring injury. If Williams does manage to suit up Week 1, he stands to primarily handle snaps out of the slot.

Shines in training camp Williams was the Saints' standout on Day 1 of training camp, Amie Just of Nola.com reports.

Impact Williams picked off Jameis Winston and forced a Dwayne Washington fumble and was the star of New Orleans' first day of training camp. Head coach Sean Payton echoed that sentiment by saying, "He's one of those players that I think has good football IQ. It's good to give him some additional work." Williams re-signed with the Saints in April and is playing on a one-year contract. He'll look to improve on a disappointing 2019 season in which he only forced one turnover.
