BillsWatch Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I see conflicting reports on Mike Williams. Most including Buffalo Bills Site say that he sat out of evening practice due to a tweaked hamstring: Stepping In: With Mike Williams nursing an injury second-year lineman Dylan McFarland stepped in and worked with the first team at right tackle during the evening practice. McFarland was the first of Buffalo's two seventh round selections in the 2004 Draft. The Montana native saw action in two games as a backup tackle last season. This possibly occured on extra drills. WGR says Mike Williams had a minor back injury. WGR appears to be quoting Mularkey : WGR The only other Bills injury happened during practice Saturday. The Bills right tackle Mike Williams was taken off the field with a back injury. Coach Mularkey says that Williams tweaked his back and that the injury is not serious. Williams was temporarily replaced by # 79 Dylan McFarland. Hamstring, back or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billsgirl Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I hope he's alright. From the sounds of it, he had an amazing morning practice and it'd stink if he ended up injured in the first practice. However, it doesn't sound like it's severe or anything (especially with conflicting reports) so I'm praying I see him out there today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EndZoneCrew Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 I don't think it's his back or hamstring......how about that gigantic thing he calls a GUT......someone should call the authorities for the abuse he is inflicting on his jersey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not his "gut". In fact, for a lineman his "gut" seems to be in better shape than any of the other 4 starters on the team. Other than his out of shape experience at the beginning of last season, this theory abot MW's physical shape has largely been fictional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am cetainly not denying what you saw on the television report either. FWIW he has been moving well during actual plays. I even saw a play today where he ended up pulling from RT and leading the play between LG and LT. Talk about a "lookout!" block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
