HOUSTON -- Houston Texans No. 1 draft pick Mario Williams will be sidelined for the rest of the week after having the toenails on both of his big toes removed.

Williams, a 6-foot-7, 292-pound defensive end, had the procedure done on Monday after struggling with infections because of problems with his toenails.

Houston has been going through organized team workouts for the past month and had their first day of minicamp on Wednesday.

"They were bothering him throughout the camp," said Texans coach Gary Kubiak. "So instead of trying to fight it, they removed them. We're giving him a few days off to make sure it heals properly."

Kubiak said Williams would probably return to practice on Friday.

"We just didn't want it to be a problem when we got to the summer so we took care of it now," Kubiak said.

Williams, who signed a six-year $54 million contract, with $26.5 guaranteed the night before the draft, spent practice intently watching all the drills Houston's other ends and tackles performed.

One of the things I like about Hawk--the kids got great toenails.

too much info

if you guys want something really fun and gross. i had my drill slip today while trying to drive a screw, and had the phillips head bit drive right into my thumb and went right down to the bone, spinning like crazy the whole time. then i passed out a bit. now my thumb has a big black hole filled with loose mangled skin and meat and whatnot

[swede]

Eeew! That gave me the willies. Sorry about your accident Red. Take two Vicodin, a manhattan with pickled olives, and sleep with your hand above your heart so it won't throb as badly.

hahahah.....OUCH....

not laughin at ya Red...Laughin with ya...I've had a few on the job injuried myself...As long as you don't lose a finger or something it's all good.

Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow Ow!

Oh and as for Williams, Eeeewwww.

[red]

laugh away, i'd be laughing too if it happened to someone else. thats the first time i've gotten light headed and fallen over from a cut or gash, and i've had plenty

its not the throbbing that bothers me, its the insane burning. i did think for a minute my hand thumb would be lost when the whole thing turned blue, but the color came back an hour later

and for god sakes, if i had vicodin, i sure as hell wouldn't be here right now describing it to you guys, i'd be on the floor somewhere in la-la land lol

[MJZiggy]

I'm not laughing, that's gotta hurt. If you were here, I'd give you one of my vicodin.

Speaking of toenail problems..

I used to be a mechanic and dropped a hub cap on my left foot, mostly the big toe. The pressure was unbelievable, I thought my toe would burst!

After about the worst 5 minutes of my life, I took out my electric drill and a nice new small drill bit, and drilled through my toe nail!

Once I broke through and the blood squirted out, the relief was instantaneous!

If Mario's having trouble with his toenails, I can sympathize!

OMG Hurley I am about to lose my supper...even though I didn't eat any yet

you can also do that by heating up a pin or needle and letting it slowly melt through the nail
