He's got a chance to be ready to play football again this season. The amount of work he's put forth has really excited our players, and he's really done a great job.

| March 13, 2008 There are quiet concerns within the Tampa Bay organization that running back Cadillac Williams' knee injury might be career-ending, according to the Orlando Sentinel. Given the magnitude of the damage, that certainly is a possibility, but no one has resigned themselves to that doomsday scenario yet. Williams, the third-year pro, suffered a devastating torn patellar tendon to his right knee Oct. 1 in a 20-7 victory at Carolina. The image of Williams stopping on the sidelines to make a cut, then grabbing his knee and falling to the ground was one of the most enduring -- and easily most horrific -- of the Bucs 2007 season. |
| February 15, 2008 Cadillac Williams, who underwent surgery last November to repair a torn patellar tendon in his right knee, is said to be a fixture at team headquarters rehabbing regularly in an attempt to return from the devastating injury, according to the Orlando Sentinel. The report speculates that Williams could return to action during the middle of the 2008 season. However, you will want to take this information with a grain of salt, because it represents the first positive news we have heard regarding this situation. Most other reports have Williams missing the entire 2008 season, and even if he is able to return its hard to picture him being a difference maker. |
