New Orleans Saints sign Jonah Williams to the practice squad

Summary

The New Orleans Saints signed defensive lineman Jonah Williams to the practice squad on September 7. The move comes six days before the team's September 13 regular-season opener against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field. Williams, 30, spent last season with New Orleans, where he appeared in 15 games and recorded three sacks. After signing with the Arizona Cardinals this past March, he was released during the team's roster reductions. He now rejoins a defensive unit led by coordinator Brandon Staley.
