Bills’ depth on defensive line takes hit

Kyle Williams goes on IR, future with team unclear
'Post-procedure, Williams expects rehab to last "a few months." After enduring back-to-back Achilles' injuries in the past, he said nothing scares him.

Buffalo could clear $5 million in cap space by releasing Williams, who'll turn 33 years old in June.'
Vic Carucci’s Take Five: Intensity has to be there for Bills
'Defense must avoid being victimized by the Chiefs’ exceptional screen game. Most opponents are liberal in their use of screens against the Bills because of the attack-oriented nature of their front seven.

'“Robey is what we call a freak, a specimen in Polk County,” Williams said recently. “I remember our coach (Richard Tate) told us it’s gonna be a track meet, so be prepared. We asked, what do you mean? And every time you turn around you see 21 flashing down the sideline on a jet sweep. One game, first play from scrimmage he took one 85 yards for a touchdown and we got to the sideline and it was like, ‘Yeah, it’s gonna be a track meet.’”'
Mario Williams will miss Chiefs game
'Williams is going to undergo surgery to have his meniscus repaired. He said Friday he has no plans of retiring. "I've got no plans to not play anymore," Williams said. "I think the great thing about this game is you're judged on what you do on the field, and when I'm out there, I feel like I do a pretty good job when I'm out there. I think the thing that's not measured is what you have in (your heart) and in (your head), and I've got plenty of that left to give."'
Bills sputtering offense needs more of real McCoy
'“Oh man, me and Coach Reid have a special relationship,’’ McCoy said. “We still text and talk. When I got traded, you know he sent me a text. He had some words for me, encouragement. So it will be something special. He’s a good coach, a good man, and I think that’s cool. But we gotta win and going in there we’ll talk a little bit. But the main concern is beating the Chiefs.’"'

'Williams, who hasn't played since the Bills' Week 6 game against the Cincinnati Bengals, was holding out hope he would be able to return this season.

'"Looking at it, we at some point, it needed to be done," Williams told reporters.
