'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. Of course, the Bills will eventually have a financial decision to make with the 10-year veteran, too. Buffalo could clear $5 million in cap space by releasing Williams, who'll turn 33 years old in June.'

'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. And they tend to have success with it because they’re able to take advantage of the over-pursuit by linemen and linebackers.'

'Whether it's Charcandrick West, Spencer Ware or quarterback Alex Smith, the Chiefs have been able to keep defenses off balance.'

'“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.’”'

'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."'

'“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. His knee hasn't responded to treatment the way he or the team hoped, so he's having a procedure to repair the meniscus in his knee and will require a few months of rehab before he can resume football activities.'

'The Bills' offensive linemen took overeating to a new level.'

'The NFL only allows such public showings of games when "no admission fee is charged, the game is shown on a television type commonly used at home, and the establishment is engaged in the business of showing regular and daily sports programming to its patrons."'

'"It's been tough," Williams said. "It was something that we knew was going to have to be addressed sooner or later, and we kind of hoped against hope that I could get through and that I could respond and I could play with it and wait until after the season."'

'"Looking at it, we at some point, it needed to be done," Williams told reporters. "We just hoped that it could be something that we could put off and I could get through the year and help our team through treatment and hoping that it would respond. How likely that was or not, I don't know, but [we" target="_blank"> tried to exhaust all options and cling to as much hope as we can."'

'"Any free time we get, any way possible we can help out, we always do. It just means a lot. This is where I come from. (It's) something positive and you do it from the bottom of your heart," said McCoy.'

'“I think when you’re away from it, when you’re pulled out from it, you realize how much you miss it, how much you want to be with your teammates, all those things when you’re playing," Williams said. "I’ve got no plans to not play anymore.” Williams is scheduled to make $7 million dollars next season. He initially hurt his knee in week six against the Cincinnati Bengals and hasn't played since.'

'The next and most obvious question is pretty simple: Kyle Williams will be 33 years old to start next season, so have we seen the last of him in a Bills uniform?'
