Jamaal Williams Will Need "Some Time" To Recover From Hamstring Injury

one year ago

New Orleans Saints running back Jamaal Williams (hamstring) is expected to need some time to recover from his hamstring injury, according to Adam Schefter. Saints head coach Dennis Allen told reporters that Williams would need "some time" to heal from the hamstring injury that he suffered during Monday night's win over the Carolina Panthers. While no timetable was given, it sounds like Williams is definitely out for Week 3, and most likely longer. He was operating as the Saints' bell cow prior to his injury with both Alvin Kamara (suspension) and rookie Kendre Miller (hamstring) being sidelined. Practice squad call-up Tony Jones Jr. scored a pair of touchdowns on MNF after Williams exited but the Saints should be getting Miller back for their Week 3 matchup against the Packers. Expect New Orleans to use a combination of Miller, Taysom Hill, and Jones in the run game. All three options are hard to trust outside of deep leagues, however.
