So his inflammed patella in the same leg has nothing to do with his original injury and reconstruction. OK... fine.
UPDATE: Williams said it’s still the irritation under the “fatty pad” in his knee causing him sharp pain. He said he doesn’t even call it an injury. He also wasn’t willing to say he was nervous about his spot on the roster, mostly because he figures worrying about it wouldn’t help.

So it isn't an injury, but it is sharp pain from inflammation (that was gone but came back after the initial practices this year) that at some point is going to get better to a point where he will be able to play at an NFL level?

From an injury a year ago?

Where is an orthopedic surgeon when we need them? Paging Cheesebeef.

MRI's can show various things but generally, X-Rays can show inflammation. I've had spinal issues for a while now and in x-rays the DRs have told me they can see inflammation at times.

Two years ago. Last year's injury was to his shoulder/upper body. He just played crappy before the injury because he was afraid to get hit.

Pretty devestating Kent Somers article about Ryan Williams:

http://www.azcentral.com/sports/car...-ryan-williams-likely-sidelined-saturday.html

“He had excellent OTAs (organized team activity period),” Arians said on Monday. “He started out with an excellent camp, was cutting, running, then just put the brakes on.”

“Just put the brakes on,” is an interesting choice of words. Maybe Arians didn’t mean anything by it, but the inference is that Williams is the only thing holding Williams back

There is no doubt the Cardinals think Williams could be practicing.
An MRI of his knee came back clean, but the pain and weakness in the knee lingered.

[snip]

Williams needs to play soon, because his spot on the roster is not assured. He entered camp as the No. 2 back, behind Rashard Mendenhall. In the two-plus weeks since, he has tumbled to fifth, behind Alfonso Smith, Stepfan Taylor and Andre Ellington.

I have yet to see a depth chart where Ryan Williams isn't listed in parentheses.

Ohhhhh, parenthesis means behind the other players. Odd, I thought it was injured.

Always struggled with PEMDAS in school.. parenthesis first subtraction last.

Maybe williams is just trying to bleed the brakes. You cant bleed brakes without pumping them.

Reading comprehension: Last player on the depth chart to start a game in preseason.

Twitter 140 char limit: Dropped on depth chart to last on depth chart.

;)

Is this greek or latin? I'm confused. As usual.
