Rotowire
The Giants claimed Williams off waivers Friday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
Williams, who was waived by the Seahawks on Thursday, appeared in all 12 of Seattle's games before being waived, recording 254 kick-return and 111 punt-return yards while playing almost strictly on special teams (four defensive snaps and 131 on special teams). He'll likely play a similar role with the Giants and could serve as the team's top return man in a Week 14 matchup against the Saints.

Seahawks' Dee Williams: Done for rest of Sunday
Rotowire
Williams (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the 49ers.
Williams suffered an ankle injury early in the second half Sunday, ultimately being carted off the field, bringing his day to a premature end. Kenny McIntosh and Jaxon Smith-Njigba are candidates to see increased reps on kick returns and punt returns while Josh Jobe will likely see an uptick in usage at cornerback for the rest of the game.

Seahawks' Dee Williams: Passes physical
Rotowire
Williams (undisclosed) passed his physical Friday.
Seattle just placed Williams on its NFI list Thursday, but he's evidently already back in shape for football activities. He played defensive back at Tennessee, so if he did find an immediate role with the Seahawks, it would probably be as a kick/punt returner.
