Veteran running back Delvin Williams, plagued by a chronic neck injury, was placed on waivers Monday by the Oakland Invaders, reducing the USFL club's player roster to 58.
According to Invaders head coach-general manager John Ralston, Williams' injury was not responding to treatment. In seven National Football League seasons with the San Francisco 49ers and Miami Dolphins, Williams rushed for 5,598 yards and caught 152 passes for 1,415 yards.
The Invaders also announced they will break their training camp here Feb. 26 and return to the Bay Area to put the finishing touches on the 40-man squad that will open the season March 6 against the Arizona Wranglers in Phoenix.
In other USFL news;
Los Angeles Express owner Alan Harmon denied Sunday night that USFL owners were prepared to join forces to get Walker to play in one of the major cities in the new league.
“That's incorrect.” Harmon said. “I was not part of any deal that would bring him to New Jersey or L.A.” Harmon said the story may have started with an agent who had proposed in December that the league should pool its resources to lure Walker.
