Ricky Williams on the grass again in NFL

Ricky Williams out for season after just 6 carries and a fumble

MIAMI (AP) -- Ricky Williams' latest comeback lasted one game.
The Miami Dolphins running back will miss the rest of the season with a torn chest muscle, according to his agent, Leigh Steinberg.

Williams was hurt Monday at Pittsburgh, when he played in his first game in nearly two years. He returned following a 1 1/2 -year suspension for his latest violation of the NFL drug policy.
Steinberg said the arm will be in a sling from four to six weeks and the rehab will take five months.
But Steinberg said Williams expects to be ready for next season.
"It's sad given how hopeful Ricky had been about his return to football and given the amount of effort Ricky had put into his rehabilitation. But he's optimistic and hopeful for the future."
With a winless record, the Dolphins were desperate for help and eager to showcase Williams in hopes of increasing his trade value. Coach Cam Cameron decided to play Williams only a week after he joined practice.
"My No. 1 concern coming into the game, when you hurry a guy back, obviously he could get hurt," Cameron said after the game.
The team was off Tuesday, and a spokesman for the Dolphins said they had no comment on Williams' status. Miami is 0-11 and plays the New York Jets on Sunday.
Williams was injured in the second quarter Monday on a play when he fumbled. After being tackled, he was accidentally stepped on while chest-down on the ground.
Williams left the game, returned briefly and departed for good after one more carry. He finished with 15 yards in six carries, and the Dolphins lost 3-0 on a last-minute field goal.

 

didn't really look like an accident to me. When I saw the replays, timmons looks like he made an effort to keep ricky down from getting the fumble.

 

I think Timmons was using Williams as traction due to the horrible field conditions.​

 

should never have been playing. no way he was in football shape yet.

 

Timmons basically pulled a Haynesworth. Should be fined.

 

more MIA money well spent...congrats

 

I was thinking the same thing...it was a cheap shot. But given the fact that he did it to Ricky Williams, it seems to be sliding under the radar.

 

Maybe they wanted Ricky ...

To eat some Steeler GRASS !!!!

 

That's kind of what I was thinking when I saw him playing on Monday.

 

It wasn't quite that bad. Haynesworth cleated a guy in the face who wasn't wearing a helmet. Gurode is lucky he wasn't blinded.
