08:02 AM ET 09.16 | Injury may help settle the race between Roy Williams and Johnny Knox. [Williams] missed his second consecutive day of practice Thursday as he continues to recover from a groin injury. Williams suffered the injury in the season opener against the Falcons. ... "It's not a bad thing missing a day of practice," Williams said Wednesday. "I remember in Detroit during the best year I had, my son had gotten sick in Texas and I flew down and I missed Wednesday and Thursday practices. I came back Friday, played against the Bills Sunday and I had like (10) catches for 161 yards and a touchdown." If Williams doesn't suit Friday, he'll no doubt miss Sunday's game against the Saints. [Knox] would replace him in the starting lineup.

Sorry, Bears fans...

Those are the types of deep insight you are going to get from ol' Roy.

Must have gotten injured picking up his jock. It's unlikely he did anything on the field to get injured.

Well - in that case, Roy, maybe you should only show up on gameday, from here...on out.

I sure the locker room won't mind.

Missing practice for two days because you're out of town on family leave is different from missing two days because you've got a groin injury. But, I wouldn't expect Roy to figure that out.

Did Roy strain a groin at the gentlemens' club, or did he actually put forth some effort on the field for a change?

That's another reason not to be surprised at a good performance.

He got overly excited at a TSA pat-down before the flight home.

The dude must have a hair-trigger. I've yet to see a TSA agent that didn't make me want to vomit.

No excuses for bad taste. I bet Roy drinks Cabernet Sauvignon with fish, too.

I heard Roy mixes single malt scotch with Pepsi. Maybe he strained his groin racing for the bathroom 'cause it made him have to go so bad. Mixing caffeine and booze can be dangerous that way.

When you close your eyes...they can look however you'd like.

In Roy Williams case, probably like Major Applewhite.

I used to believe in that "they're all Playboy Bunnies with the lights off" theory, but experience has taught me better. Fat rolls quivering under me aren't gonna pass for Kate Upton no matter how dark it is.

Was that how Arnold Schwarzenegger dealt with it?

He probably takes care of it himself while the chick sits there and tells him how massive his arms are.

Alcohol helps....

Well, just because she doesn't pass for Kate Upton doesn't mean I'm kicking her out of bed. Big girls like to party, too.

When you have to roll them in flour to find the wet spots, they're too big for me.

What's the over-under on how long this one lasts?
