fredtoast Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/20457841/cincinnati-bengals-starting-safety-shawn-williams-need-elbow-surgery CINCINNATI -- Cincinnati Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said starting safety Shawn Williams has recovered well following his elbow injury last week and will not need surgery. "Everything's great," Lewis said. "As he said, he's not going to let them keep a good man down. He's in a brace and moving very well. He's way ahead of where the doctors thought he would be." Williams' injury hasn't kept him out of practice, although he's been limited to watching. "He wants to be there on opening day, so he's doing everything he can to get himself back," Lewis said. The Bengals appeared to have escaped a worst-case scenario that could have put Williams out for half the season or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidey Posted August 25, 2017 Report Share Posted August 25, 2017 Are we sure he isn't referring to opening day of 2018? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone notice this comment? That sounds like classic Hob Spin. "He has not missed a single practice due to this injury. He is still able to move his eyes."

Watching is not practicing, it's ATTENDING practice as a spectator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo Montoya Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 I'm interpreting this as good news, but the likelihood is still high that Williams misses 2-3 games. Certainly better news than if he needed surgery and better than any of us believed when it happened live. If he only misses 6 weeks total it will be a huge bullet dodged.

TimKrumrieFan Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Twitter docs were going on that Williams should miss very little regular season time if any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
