If he has a break they wouldn't be waiting on an MRI...waiting on MRI would lean more to high ankle sprain/ligament damage.

That sucks because you thought he was hurt, then it was just a cramp, then he turned around and actually got hurt.

****. I hope he can get him back in the playoffs. That’s a big loss.

Unless he broke it and the MRI is to check for ligament damage

Dang. Major bummer for him.

Josh Williams needs to return to the guy he was last year.

Not sure what happened to him but it seemed like Nazeeh Johnson and Christian Roland-Wallace were out there before him.

I’m a big fan of his, but if there’s any position I trust we’ll just figure it out, it’s DB.

Hopefully, not a season ender.

Break will mean 6 to 8 weeks most likely

damn this is why the 3 peat has never been done. We've been relatively fortunate with injuries up until now. But it's not like it's cost us any games so far and DB is probably the best position and deepest on the team at least.

-If it's really that bad we'd be fortunate to have him back in time for the Playoffs.

-Injuries are stacking up but this team is still in good shape. This is truly the deepest team we've ever had.

-Roland-Wallace was lost out of the gate but once dialed in he played really well. (How does Veach do it? Good CB's are hard to find and KC has them in surplus. It's amazing.)

-The level of depth in this secondary is virtually unheard of. Joshua Williams is our 5th CB and him and Watson were on the same level not long ago.

This blows. Hope he gets well soon

Thats a shame but we have some depth here and hopefully he is back for the play offs.

Best thing about this guy is how you don't notice him in a game. He goes out there and does his job and as a corner that is usually a sign of shutting down your side of the field

Sucks. He’s done.
