Chiefs running back Damien Williams is opting out of the 2020 season.
The 28-year-old Williams had 290 yards and six touchdowns in three post-season games — two TDs in the Super Bowl — for the Chiefs.
He has been plagued by injuries in his six pro seasons, and rushed for 498 yards and five touchdowns on 111 carries during the regular season."As an organization, we certainly understand and respect Damien’s choice, knowing it was made in the best interest of his family. He means a lot to our football team as a player and a person, and we’re going to miss having him around this season."
