The New York Giants have activated DL Leonard Williams from the Non-Football Injury list on Friday, according to Art Stapleton. 
Williams, 26, is a former first-round pick of the Jets back in 2015. He was in the final year of a four-year, $18.6 million rookie contract and was set to earn a base salary of $2,975,574 in 2018 when the Jets picked up his fifth-year option last April.
Williams made a base salary of $14.2 million for the 2019 season before the Giants used their franchise tag on him this offseason. The franchise tag will cost the Giants between $16.126-$17.788 million fully guaranteed, depending on whether he’s considered a defensive end or a defensive tackle.
In 2019, Williams appeared in 15 games for the Giants and Jets and recorded 46 tackles, 0.5 sacks, one forced fumble and three pass defenses. He was rated by Pro Football Focus as the No. 36 interior defender out of 114 qualifying players.
