The Vikings waived Williams (undisclosed) from injured reserve Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Williams was placed on the Vikings' IR in early August due to an undisclosed issue. He'll now have a chance to sign with another team in need of depth at defensive tackle once he is fully healthy.

Williams (undisclosed) reverted to the Vikings' injured-reserve list Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
