"Undrafted out of Wagner in 2020, Williams caught on with the Colts and spent his rookie season on their practice squad. The 298-pounder went on to play sparingly with Indianapolis from 2021-22, during which he appeared in 13 games and made six tackles."
"After the Colts cut Williams in the spring of 2023, he had brief runs on practice squads in Kansas City and Cleveland. Although he did not play a snap for the Browns, they got some value from Williams in an August 2024 trade."
The Atlanta Falcons have signed defensive lineman Chris Williams on a one-year deal worth $2 million. Williams, an undrafted player from Wagner in 2020, began his career on the Indianapolis Colts' practice squad before appearing in 13 games for them from 2021-22 with six tackles. After being released by the Colts in spring 2023, he cycled through practice squads with Kansas City and Cleveland. The Browns traded Williams and a 2025 seventh-round pick to the Chicago Bears for a 2025 sixth-rounder in August 2024. Falcons GM Ian Cunningham was the Bears' assistant GM when they acquired Williams.
