Dolphins WR Williams goes on IR; assistants still sidelined
Miami Dolphins receiver Preston Williams has gone on injured reserve with a foot injury, meaning he’ll be sidelined for three games and perhaps longerNOVEMBER 11, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Headed to IR Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said Wednesday that Williams (foot) will be placed on injured reserve, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports. "[Williams' injury is] more si...
Impact Flores was unwilling to speculate if the foot injury Williams sustained in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Cardinals would sideline him for the rest of the season, but the receiver's move to IR means that he'll miss at least three games. With Williams shut down through the end of the month, Flores specifically mentioned Jakeem Grant, Mack Hollins and Lynn Bowden as the main candidates to see more work alongside No. 1 receiver DeVante Parker. The 23-year-old Williams has had some tough luck on the health front to begin his young career, as he previously missed half of his rookie season with a torn ACL.

Deemed 'day-to-day' Williams (foot) is considered day-to-day, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Williams injured his foot in the second quarter of Sunday's eventual win at Arizona and was carted from the field. Afterward, X-rays came back negative, leading the Dolphins to believe he's dealing with a sprain, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. It's unclear if Williams will be available Week 10 against the Chargers, but the decision likely will come down to how many practice reps the 2019 undrafted free agent can handle in the coming days.

The Miami Dolphins delayed returning home from their latest victory because of a tropical storm in South FloridaNOVEMBER 9, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Gets good news from X-rays X-rays on Williams' injured foot came back negative, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact The Dolphins believe Williams escaped with a sprain, though it could be a relatively severe one given that he was carted off the field during the second quarter of Sunday's win over the Cardinals. He was on track for a huge game before the injury, catching four of five targets for 60 yards and a touchdown on 17 snaps. Mack Hollins replaced Williams and scored a TD of his own, but Hollins finished the afternoon with just the one target, also playing 17 snaps (28 percent). Hollins and Jakeem Grant will be the top candidates to take on vacated snaps if Williams isn't available for Week 10 against the Chargers.

Ruled out to return Williams (foot) has been ruled out to return to Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Williams' foot injury comes at an especially inopportune time, as he had four grabs for 60 yards and a score during the first half and appeared to have been manufacturing solid chemistry with rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Per Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post, initial medical evaluations have diagnosed Williams with a sprain. The second-year pro was limited to eight appearances as a rookie due to an ACL tear.

Impact Williams had four catches for 60 yards on five targets before being forced out Sunday, including a nine-yard helicopter score. If the second-year pro is unable to return against Arizona, it will fall to a combination of Jakeem Grant, Malcolm Perry and Mack Hollins to pick up the slack behind top wideout DeVante Parker.

Held to two catches again Williams hauled in two of five targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 28-17 win over the Rams.
Impact Williams has now been held to two receptions in back-to-back games, and he's failed to exceed 20 yards in four of seven contests. Granted, rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa only passed for 93 yards in his first NFL start, as Sunday featured a strange gamescript in which Miami got to nurse a lead courtesy of both defensive and special-teams touchdowns. The second-year pro will get a chance to demonstrate more on-field chemistry with Tagovailoa in Arizona in Week 9.

Finds end zone Sunday Williams caught two of three targets for 18 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-0 win over the Jets.
Impact The Dolphins' passing game mostly went into the tank after taking a 21-0 lead into halftime, but Williams was able to cash in early to salvage his production. The second-year receiver has found the end zone in three of the last four games, and if the groin injury DeVante Parker suffered Sunday doesn't heal up over the team's Week 7 bye, Williams could find himself as Ryan Fitzpatrick's top option for a game or two.

Eclipses century mark in win Williams hauled in four of five targets for 106 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 43-17 win over the 49ers.
Impact Williams got off to a quiet start to the 2020 season while coming off an ACL tear, but he looked to be at full form during Sunday's upset win. The second-year pro set the tone on Miami's first play of the game with a 47-yard catch from Ryan Fitzpatrick. His 106 receiving yards were a career high, and Williams also surpassed his total combined yardage through the first four games of the season.
