Running back Jamaal Williams was released by the Saints earlier this offseason, marking a significant roster change alongside Peterson's waiver.

Jamaal Williams, once a prolific scorer for the Lions, has hit free agency after a lackluster stint in New Orleans, opening questions about his future role in the league.

Jamaal Williams has struggled to replicate his previous success since joining the Saints, averaging below 4.0 yards per carry in both seasons with the team. While his performance can partly be attributed to the lack of a strong offensive line and the presence of Alvin Kamara, Williams' declining stats suggest that his time as a productive running back may be coming to an end.

Jamaal Williams is expected to play a crucial role in the Saints' ground game against the Packers, especially with key players like Alvin Kamara unavailable. The team may rely heavily on him and Kendre Miller to establish a strong running attack, which is vital for success in cold-weather conditions.

Jamaal Williams could potentially impact Kendre Miller's passing-down snap share as the nominal No. 2 running back for the Saints. However, Miller has been leading the team in two-minute drill snaps, indicating a shift in usage that may limit Williams' opportunities in crucial situations.
