So, now we're thinking maybe Jon Gruden isn't kidding. There's a chance that perhaps we won't see Cadillac Williams Sunday at Detroit. That opinion is based on comments from both Gruden and Williams after today's practice, which just concluded. Gruden indicated that the backup running backs on the roster Sunday will have to be someone who can contribute on special teams. That person is more likely to be newly-signed Noah Herron than Williams, who has never played special teams here.

Most of it can be attributed to his brutal running style.

As you should. He'll be a big contributor the final few games.

Why play him against the Lions for sure.
Heck...they could rest all their starters and still win in reality.

Is this supposed to be funny?

Cadillac is another overhyped runner.

he's started 18 games over the past 3 seasons. only had 1 season in his 4 year career over 1000 yards.

but if you want to believe he's only been hurt once, feel free. i tend to have an understanding of the situation before i post though. wishing doesn't make it reality.

The kid has a history of injuries... name one season that he has started game 1 and played 16 full games... he's injury prone.
