Bills' Williams out 1, maybe 2 more games

Buffalo Bills coach Chan Gailey was upfront Wednesday about the status of defensive tackle Kyle Williams.

Williams, who was absent in the Bills’ loss to the New York Giants last weekend due to a foot injury, will not play in a week and a half when Buffalo takes the field against the Washington Redskins in Toronto.

In fact, Gailey said Williams could miss two more games. Either way, he won’t be the same even if he does return.

“I don’t know that he’ll be 100 percent for the whole year,” Gailey told the media Wednesday. “ I don’t know that he’ll make that.”

Until this season, Williams had been a consistent cog on the Bills’ defensive line for the last few years and played in the 2011 Pro Bowl as an alternate. He was also a Pro-Bowl alternate the year before but didn't get called up.

Williams had been dealing with the foot issue since training camp, but he irritated it enough in the Bills' victory over the Philadelphia Eagles two weeks ago to the point that it sidelined him.
