Saints Place DB P.J. Williams & K Wil Lutz On NFI List

The New Orleans Saints officially placed K Wil Lutz and DB P.J. Williams on the non-football injury list Thursday. 

Both players will count against the Saints’ 90-man roster and can be activated at any time. 

Williams, 28, is a former third-round pick of the Saints back in 2015. He played out the final year of his four-year, $3,061,619 contract before returning to the Saints on a one-year contract worth $5 million in 2019.

Williams returned to the Saints last year on a one-year, $2 million contract before agreeing to another one-year deal this past March. 

In 2020, Williams appeared in 15 games and recorded 39 tackles, one interception, two fumble recoveries, and two pass defenses.
