Outside linebacker Tim Williams has been placed on waivers for the second time this NFL season after the Green Bay Packers released the former Alabama standout on Tuesday.

Williams joined Green Bay on Oct. 2 as a waiver claim after he’d been released by the Baltimore Ravens.

In his five games on the Packers' roster, Williams appeared in one, getting on the field for two special-teams plays against the Detroit Lions on Oct. 14.

Williams played 75 defensive snaps in the first four games of the 2019 season with the Ravens.

After joining Baltimore as a third-round draft choice from Alabama in 2017, Williams played in 19 of 36 regular-season games, limited by a thigh injury in 2017 and an ankle injury in 2018. He totaled 18 tackles and two sacks.

Green Bay released Williams to open a spot on the active roster for safety Ibraheim Campbell, who had been on the physically unable to perform list since Sept. 3. Campbell is coming back after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament late in the 2018 season.
