The Bills designating Sammy Watkins as their one player to return from injured reserve officially rules out Williams (neck) for the rest of the campaign.
Williams would have been a long shot anyway, as no one has a true timetable on his return and his injury is scary enough that at this point everyone's just hoping he can play football again. One thing that's clear -- the Bills' defensive backfield has struggled to replace him, as Robert Blanton hasn't cut it and the team is now looking at any option that can even capably fill Williams' starting spot.
