Jamaal Williams Put on IR by Saints; out at Least 4 Games with Hamstring Injury

The New Orleans Saints will be without their top two running backs Sunday after they had to place Jamaal Williams on injured reserve Saturday, causing him to miss at least the next four games, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Williams, 28, left Monday's game against the Carolina Panthers early with the injury and coach Dennis Allen said earlier in the week that he would miss "some time."

The Saints were already without star Alvin Kamara, who's been serving a three-game suspension to start the season. Williams was one of the team's big free agent signings this past offseason.
