In the wake of Mark Ingram's four-game suspension to start the 2018 NFL season, Ian Rapoport tweeted "the Saints like Jonathan Williams" and noted that the club has no current plans to sign a veteran runner. (Ian Rapoport via Twitter )

Rapoport also noted that the Saints drafted undersized Louisiana Tech running back Boston Scott in the sixth round. Trey Edmunds is also on the roster but has just nine career totes. Williams was a 2015 fifth-round pick by Buffalo and rushed for 94 yards and a score on 27 carries as a rookie before joining Denver's practice squad in 2017. Listed at six feet and 223 pounds, Williams is a name to monitor during training camp if he secures the team's RB2 duties while Ingram is absent.
