Bengals Hopeful S Shawn Williams May Only Miss 4-6 Weeks

You may have heard lately that during the Cincinnati Bengals’ game against the Texans, starting safety Shawn Williams suffered an elbow injury that caused him to leave the field. We covered it right here, even including a video of the nasty-looking injury, should you be so inclined to see what happened.

Evidently, the team’s initial impressions are that it may not be as bad as it looked. According to team website writer Geoff Hobson, they currently do not believe that Williams’ elbow injury is as serious as the one suffered by Tyler Eifert a few seasons ago, which caused him to miss the rest of the season after just a handful of snaps.
