Giants roster move: Giants claim CB/return man waived on Thursday

The New York Giants, with injuries popping up all over the roster, have claimed cornerback/kick returner Dee Williams off waivers from the Seattle Seahawks.

Williams, a rookie undrafted free agent who played at Tennessee, appeared in 12 games for the Seahawks. He returned 15 punts for an average 7.4 yards per return, and nine kickoffs for an average 28.2 yards per return.

Williams, 5-foot-10, 190 pounds, played only four defensive snaps for the Seahawks.

With Eric Gray struggling with ball security on kickoffs, Williams perhaps provides the Giants with an option there.
