Should running back Damien Williams' early injury concern Chiefs?

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. -- Damien Williams said he spent the offseason preparing for his role as a full-time featured back for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Williams, 27, enters the season as an RB1 for the first time in his career and said he has been focused on things like nutrition and hydration -- things that will keep him healthy during a long season.

The early returns, though, are not encouraging. Williams missed most of the first two weeks of Chiefs training camp because of a sore hamstring. He returned to practice late last week but didn't play in Saturday night's preseason opener against the Cincinnati Bengals.
