ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills have waived second-year running back Karlos Williams, the team announced Saturday.The NFL announced in July that Williams is suspended for the first four games of the regular season for a violation of the leagues substance-abuse policy. He can serve the suspension as a free agent if he is not claimed off waivers or signed by another team.Ive always said this is a performance-based business, Bills general manager Doug Whaley said Saturday. The release of Karlos Williams was strictly performance-based. He came in behind the eight ball and never caught up. And there was other guys on the roster that moved ahead of him.In light of that, we thought, Why hold on to him? Why dont we give him a chance to maybe find another job out there in the league? We werent going to hold on to him to the end, knowing he wasnt going to make the team.Williams, 23, began training camp on the active/non-football illness list after he reported to minicamp in June out of shape. His weight went as high as 261 pounds during the offseason, a league source told ESPNs Adam Schefter. Williams attributed his weight gain to his pregnant fiancées food cravings.Williams, whose listed weight on the Bills website was 230, was activated Monday from the non-football illness list and practiced this past week.Whaley was asked if Williams was having trouble losing weight.I think its a process, and he was so far out of reach for his goal, it was going to take a lot of time for him to get to where he needed to be, Whaley said. While youre taking time, other guys are moving past you.Williams took to Instagram to thank the Bills for his time in Buffalo.The Bills decision to release Williams represents a reversal of course from the team, which had supported him despite his poor conditioning and suspension.I think were all excited about the talent he has, coach Rex Ryan said Monday. Its clear this is a really talented young man and yeah, we hope that hes here for a long time and does the right things and handles himself well off the field. So thats something that were counting on from him.A fifth-round pick last season, Williams played in 11 games, starting three. He gained 517 yards on 93 carries and scored seven rushing touchdowns in addition to two receiving touchdowns.Williams tied an NFL record last season by scoring a touchdown in each of his first six games played in the league. New England Patriots running back Robert Edwards also scored touchdowns in his first six games as a rookie in 1998.Trevon Duval Jersey .

Mohammad Wasim scored 0 and 109 not out on his debut for Pakistan, against New Zealand in Lahore in 1996-97. New Zealands Bruce Taylor had an unusual double in his first match, against India in Calcutta (now Kolkata) in 1964-65: after making 105 in the first innings - his maiden first-class century - he was left 0 not out in the second when his captain declared. Overall, there have now been 158 instances of a player making a century and a duck in the same Test.At the MCG last week, David Warner scored 159 of Australias 264.

This is the second-highest percentage by an Australian in a completed ODI innings, after 60.73% by Damien Martyn, who made an undefeated 116 out of 191, also against New Zealand, after opening in Auckland in 1999-2000. The overall list is headed by two famous one-day innings from the 1980s: at Old Trafford in 1984, Viv Richards scored 189 not out of West Indies 272 for 9 (69.48%) against England, while at Tunbridge Wells during the 1983 World Cup, Kapil Dev thrashed 175 of Indias 266 for 8 (65.78%) against Zimbabwe.I noticed that the UAEs Swapnil Patil scored 99 not out in his first one-day international.

Sadly, he could only manage a single, and finished with 99 not out. The only other batsman to score 99 in his first ODI is Eoin Morgan - now Englands captain, but playing for his native Ireland at the time. Morgan was run out towards the end of the Irish innings against Scotland in Ayr in 2006. He received an ICC reprimand for swearing as he left the field following his dismissal.Daniel Vettori took his 100th Test wicket when he was only 21. Was this a record? asked Jamie Houghton from New ZealandDaniel Vettori is one of three bowlers who took their 100th Test wickets when they were only 21. Thee others are the Indian pair of Kapil Dev and Harbhajan Singh - and Kapil was 26 days younger than Vettori when he reached three figures, in January 1980.dddddddddddd Harbhajan, who reached the landmark in May 2002, was about nine months older than Vettori. Ishant Sharma and Saqlain Mushtaq took their respective 100th Test wickets when they were 22, while Waqar Younis, Irfan Pathan, Graham McKenzie, Wasim Akram, Ian Botham and Alf Valentine were all 23.

The longest for Australia was by David Boon, who consumed 168 balls in making a match-winning 102 not out against India in Hobart, in 1991-92. But they are all a little way down the overall list, which is headed by New Zealands Glenn Turner, who faced 201 balls in scoring 171 not out against East Africa in Edgbaston during the 1975 World Cup. Turner is second on the table too, having used up 177 balls for 114 not out against India at Old Trafford a week later.
