The Saints shocked some fans when they released running back Jonathan Williams last week; favoring rookie Boston Scott as the back up to Alvin Kamara. Scott’s ability in special teams was most likely a contributor for Williams’s release, but he showed throughout the preseason that he was a capable runner. It’s the reason many of us were even more shocked by his release. Hopefully, his release was just temporary—possibly due to an injury to Andrus Peat—and he can land on the practice squad where we can see him eventually in Sean Payton’s offense.
