budlitebrad Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Left knee gave out on a long run. Had to be helped off. That's gotta be frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fstbck6706 Posted December 28, 2008 Author Share Posted December 28, 2008 Ahhh yeah I'm just watching hoping they lose so philly can still squeak in possibly. He landed on his left knee awkwardly, was screaming for probably 30 seconds wasnt even letting anyone touch him. They walked him off but he was just using his right leg.

Sammy D. Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Heard it was the patella tendon again, this time in the opposite knee. Feel bad for the guy, he busted his azz to get back and he actually looked good running the ball, now he's probably out for '09. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 just have to feel bad for the guy...we know that he can come back physically now but I wonder if he can come back mentally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avernus Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I actually felt very bad for him...especially since the sideline mic picked up every expletive that he said..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyOne Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Sad news, not just from a homer perspective, but from seeing a guy work that hard to come back and then this happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Sad news, not just from a homer perspective, but from seeing a guy work that hard to come back and then this happens. I picked him up early in one league and was intending to keep him as a good 3rd round keeper possibility. I also feel very sad for him - he's a talented back and a determined person.

Jackass Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Amazing that it's the other leg. If it were the same leg, i'd say he's done, but if he can rehab one leg, i guess he can rehab another. Frank Gore did it, although he was a lot younger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrick35 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I picked him up early in one league and was intending to keep him as a good 3rd round keeper possibility. I also feel very sad for him - he's a talented back and a determined person. I had done the same thing. I even started him in my leagues Pro Bowl this week so his 2 td's this week were not in vain, he actually helped me win the Pro Bowl. Just a terrible thing for him to have to endure again after having worked so hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunday Couch Potatoe Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 6 to 8 week recovery after surgery should be able to attempt yet another comeback in 09 without any setbacks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly Rodgers Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I believe for a patella tendon reconstruction, it's 6-8 weeks before you can start real rehab, yeah? Don't ligaments like these take a full year before you're back to 100%? If so, he should have a similar season next year as this year as far as returning to the game and contributing. Meaning he won't be a FF factor and won't really help the Bucs unless they make the playoffs next year. "RB Cadillac Williams was encouraged by the early diagnosis of his injured left knee. Williams suffered a torn patellar tendon Sunday, but this time, the tendon tore away from the bone rather than rupturing. That, Williams said, requires a shorter recovery time and apparently is more easily repaired. The hope is he'll be back on the field in time to participate in training camp next year. Former Bucs receiver Mark Jones suffered a similar injury last season and returned to become the Panthers' leading kick and punt returner this fall. "If it's the way it's been explained, it's more like the Mark Jones tear," Williams said. "After six to eight weeks, he was rolling. Right now, I'm just hoping for the best. I'll go ahead and have surgery and look forward to rehab." It was feared that Williams may have suffered a ruptured patellar tendon like he did last season in his right knee. That injury kept him off the field for nearly 14 months until his return in November. Still, this injury is still a setback for Williams, who looked like he was nearing his old form. "It's tough," he said. "I was getting a few carries here and there and starting to feel like my old self. My right knee, which is now my good knee, was feeling good. It's just a freak accident. Right now, I have no luck." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommyknocker Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Bummer, I too was looking to use him as a keeper costing only a 5th round pick. I picked him up off waivers as soon as he was activated. He was actually starting to look pretty good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calm down people.... Thats what WILLIAMS said? I didnt know he was a doctor... Lets hear what the doc says before anyone calms down. 2 MAJOR knee injuries in consecutive years is major for a RB.
