CHRIS WILLIAMS OUT FOR THE YEAR?
Posted by Mike Florio on August 7, 2008, 8:12 p.m. UTC

We’re hearing rumblings from reliable sources that Bears rookie offensive tackle Chris Williams, the No. 14 overall pick in the 2008 draft, is expected to miss the entire season with a back injury.

Multiple teams were concerned about Williams’ health prior to the draft. Some were sufficiently concerned to take him off the board.

As we hear it, Williams has aggravated a prior back injury, and most likely will be shut down. This development, if indeed accurate, will throw a mediocre Bears offensive line into disarray, and will put even more pressure on the team’s defense to save the day, each and every Sunday.

Williams was one of seven offensive tackles selected among the first 21 picks of the draft.

It's not going to be the Bears' year...

Maybe Williams can spend the off-season lifting weights with Justin Harell. I'm sure they could push each other to great heights.

Weren't the Bears reported to have played up the ugly rumors about his back in order to drive other teams away from Williams? Karma's a bitch.....

Williams has surgery, but Bears are not putting him on IR for now

I heard the Bears took Williams cuz they'd heard that Mike Shanahan wanted the guy.
