LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — Fullback Eddie Williams has signed a one-year contract with the Chicago Bears.
Drafted in the seventh round by Washington last year, he spent most of the season on the Redskins’ practice squad before being elevated to the active roster Nov. 2. He was inactive for three games before being placed on injured reserve with a broken leg in late November.
The 6-foot-1, 249-pound Williams caught 100 passes for 1,205 yards and 11 touchdowns in four seasons at Idaho, while carrying 19 times for 195 yards and three TDs.
