Former Cowboys safety Roy Williams is reuniting with the coach he had his most success with.

Williams is expected to sign with the Cincinnati Bengals. Former Cowboys defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer is the defensive coordinator there now.

Zimmer was the Cowboys' defensive coordinator for the first five years Williams, a first-round pick in 2002 out of Oklahoma, played in Dallas.

Former Cowboys defensive tackle Tank Johnson also signed with the Bengals this off season.

Williams does a lot of good work in the community and will be a departure from some of the characters the Bengals have.

The Cowboys cut Williams in March.

The five-time Pro Bowl player broke his right forearm in the second game last season and missed the next three. In his first game back, he broke it again.

Williams will be in Cincinnati on Thursday to meet with the team and have a physical. He broke his right forearm twice last season, and the Cowboys released him in March.
