Colts sign former Ravens RB Ty'Son Williams

The Indianapolis Colts made yet another move to improve their depth at running back this offseason, announcing Tuesday they've signed free agent Ty'Son Williams. 

Williams signed with the Baltimore Ravens in 2021 as an undrafted free agent out of BYU. 

The 25-year-old played 13 games in his rookie year, starting the first three games of the season for the Ravens in 2021. 

Williams impressed in his NFL debut against the Las Vegas Raiders, finishing with 65 rushing yards and a touchdown, adding three catches for 29 yards. 

In a Week 2 win over the Kansas City Chiefs, Williams had 13 carries for 77 yards with two catches for 16 yards. Williams started Week 3 against the Detroit Lions but received only five carries, ending the day with 22 rushing yards. 

On the year, Williams averaged 5.3 yards per attempt, compiling 185 rushing yards and a touchdown, with nine catches for 84 receiving yards. 

Williams joins a crowded backfield in Indianapolis that's already seen an addition this offseason. 

Last week, the Colts inked free agent running back Phillip Lindsay to a one-year deal. 

The Colts' running back room now consists of Pro Bowler Jonathan Taylor, Nyheim Hines, Lindsay, and Williams.
