Bengals RB Trayveon Williams carted off with ankle injury

CINCINNATI -- Trayveon Williams, one of the contenders to be the Cincinnati Bengals' top backup running back, left Tuesday's practice on a cart after suffering a right ankle injury.

Following the departure of Samaje Perine in free agency, Williams was in the mix to become the team's top reserve option behind starter Joe Mixon. After Tuesday's practice, Bengals coach Zac Taylor said he didn't have any immediate updates on Williams' status and that the team would continue to gather more information.

However, Taylor praised Williams' growth since the team drafted him in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL draft.
