Roy Williams status? (1 Viewer)

[Blackjacks]

ROY lost me my game yesterday. I had him going and he got me 0 points and I lost by 6 with R. Moss and Reggie Brown on my bench. The fantasy gods can be cruel sometimes. Does anyone know the severity of his injury?

 

[gbill2004]

I heard its just a stinger, so he should be back next week.

From Detroit Free Press, not too informative...

When wide receiver Roy Williams went down early in the game and grabbed his left shoulder, we had horrible flashbacks to Charles Rogers' two broken collarbones. But this doesn't look that bad. Williams was able to tear off his jersey and pads on the sideline, and the Lions said Williams had a back injury. But if he is out for any length of time, how can the Lions hope to win a game? Quarterback Jon Kitna said Williams was their "best player right now."

I am eager awaiting any new news on ROY as well. I didnt even see the play where it happened, how did the hit look? Did it look to be serious?

Here's the picture of the hit: http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/artic...1126/SPORTS0101It looked a bit late, but not worse than a lot of hits that happen all game long.

Bump...to keep this on the front page.

No question it was a cheap shot, probably should have been a penalty but like you stated it wasn't nothing they normally don't let go anyway.

Cost me my game too... He's been great all season though so assuming he can bounce back I'm happy to forgive and forget... Especially if he starts getting his share of the TD's...

Darren Sharper=piece of crap

Roy is clearly on the ground, wtf?

Roy's status?

Well I don't have much of an update...just that it's been the same since he entered the league. ####.

You don't know the injury, so you have no place to judge his toughness.

 

[MSULions]

yeah, he kind of rolled over with his arms all akimbo and didn't move for about 5 seconds. it looked ugly at first, but then obviously feeling returned and he was okay to walk off. Hopefully he'll be fine....but calling him a #### for not coming back after losing all feeling in your extremities is rather lame.

Whether or not '####' is the right word is up for debate, but fantasy owners questioning ROY's durability is valid.He's an exceptional talent, and when he is healthy, he's a stud. But he's like a Ferrarri that's always in the shop.

I don't dispute that, but there's a difference between being concerned that a guy is susceptible to injury and claiming that he is a pansy and sits out with injuries that he could play through.

Not to fantasy owners.

How many bones has he broken since he's been in the league? How many ligaments has he torn? You're absolutely correct, definitely no right to judge the Lions "franchise" receiver for missing so much time his first 4 years due to all these major injuries he keeps suffering.

everybody knew Roy was injury prone going into the season. Don't act surprised

Lions' R. Williams is day-to-day

The Lions got some good news Monday. Wide receiver Roy Williams, their top playmaker, wasn’t seriously hurt in Sunday’s 26-17 loss at Minnesota. He suffered what coach Rod Marinelli called a “stinger” and a “pull in his upper back.” He is day-to-day.

By this logic, the following guys are pansies, since they've missed games this year without breaking any bones or tearing any ligaments:Steve SmithTJ HoushmandzadehDonte StallworthBrian WestbrookChris SimmsBen RoethlisbergerAhman GreenAnd Larry Johson is a wuss for not getting back into the game yesterday, since he just strained his neck. What a nancy boy.

Let's get the point of my statement correct. This year? Or EVERY year since they've been in the league? In Roy's case, it's been every year. Good effort though.

Not sure I agree with your revise point. He's started 28 out of a possible 32 games in his NFL Career.

Thanks for the update. I am glad the injury does not seem serious.

Kowalski transcript confirms stinger

dsburke4: any update on roy?

TomKowalski: ROY WILLIAMS HAS A STINGER ... MIGHT PLAY THIS WEEK ... WOODY HAS A FOOT SPRAIN AND THAT COULD BE ANYWHERE FOR A WEEK TO TEDDY LEHMAN TERRITORY

 

[Mimo]

He did a interview on local radio show in Detroit today. He said, from his own mouth, he hopes to play this week. He said his neck and back hurt so bad last night he slept in a chair.

Technically, he was in there for the last play of the game (kneel down).

This is from Rotoworld today:

According to the Detroit News, the Lions have said WR Roy Williams (neck) is doubtful for Week 6.

Previous reports had Williams as "day-to-day," but he's apparently still stiff and having difficulty sleeping. "If we can get it to calm down we will be in good position," Williams said. If Williams doesn't play Sunday, WR Az-Zahir Hakim is a solid short-term fantasy option.

I'm not sure Yahoo activated Hakim yet as I can't find him on that site...

Thoughts about Hakim?

Thanks for that update. Hakim was targeted 12 times last game, so i think he'll be a great bye week filler for some teams, especially in a PPR.
