Ron Rivera says Daryl Williams injury

[Black&BlueBubba]

Just shut Williams down until after the bye.  Let him heal. At 80%he held up against Lawrence all day.  Get Rpbertson ready to play next 2 weeks at least.

Austin Pasztor is available. Great tackle, most recently spent time in Atlanta. Someone get me his agents number, I'll call him

Greg can loan a leg to Williams since he has three.  Srsly there is no way DW can play next week after that hit to the knee today.

He did have a brace on correct? It may have saved him from any major damage.

The entire line should wear knee braces at all times like college teams

The thing that worries me about Williams injury is most of the time stability on the line is sometimes better than ability.  (except for M K he's gonna suck no matter how long he's in there)  We just need to put together some continuity so the line can gel.  These injuries set back that process considerably.

Our last 9 games consist of 5 division games. I wouldn't mind not seeing Williams till Week 9 against the Bucs at home.

What are the odds of Matt Kalil being able to play next week. Kalil and Moton aren’t the worst tackle combo...

Pretty slim since he is on IR.

I understand that and I think Thomas will eventually acquire that skill.  I don't know if anyone noticed but Olsen seemed to be laboring before he went out.  I'm concerned that he will be limited all season and I've felt this way since training camp.  I'm hoping and I'm sure the coaches are hoping that Thomas will step up sooner rather than later.

Yes I noticed he was in pain even before, assumed it was his back. I am afraid Olsen’s aging quickly and, while still effective when he plays, his body can’t handle it anymore.

He’ll be on IR another 7 weeks, so not good

I dont know why, but in not as concerned about Olsen's injury as I am about Williams.  I feel Ian Thomas is a star in the making and that he will fill in just fine.

Agree on Thomas, but the Hope going into this year was that we'd have a really good too tight ends that with both of them. That might not happen now.

Wow that is not good news.  I really hate to say it.  I love Greg. But the next time we see him it might be in the booth. Declining an interview tells me he knows the severity. 

Hope I am wrong. 

Olsen never declines interviews. It's one of the things that the media guys love about him.

It's also why seeing him turn them down makes people think something's up.

[beastson]

We're wasting time with this. Let the man sit until he's really ready. Robinson can play.

[The Lone Panther]

Olsen declining media interviews tells me he's done and he knows the "is it time to retire" questions are coming, and I'm sure he doesn't want to deal with that right now. He knows this is probably it for him and just needs to some time to let it sink in.

Per a league source, Daryl Williams’ knee injury is (as Rivera mentioned) indeed different than the MCL tear and patella dislocation suffered in camp and he will get an MRI tomorrow morning to assess the actual injury and see what comes next.
