Arizona Cardinals rookie S Wydett Williams can return to Ole Miss

Arizona Cardinals rookie safety Wydett Williams has the chance to return to college football. According to ESPN reporters Dan Murphy and Pete Thamel, Williams, who is near the bottom of the team's safety depth chart, was granted a temporary restraining order to return for another season. Approximately 30 athletes, including four former Ole Miss teammates, have signed with NFL teams.

Williams, who was not drafted this year, signed a three-year contract with the Cardinals worth over $3.1 million, including $110,000 in guarantees. He is unlikely to make the roster, and it is uncertain if he will make the practice squad of the Cardinals or another team. Williams and the other players want to be released from their contracts to return to college.

If they are released by September 1st, they will be able to do so. The NFL's roster cutdown deadline is Sunday, August 30th.
