Williams is still dealing with a foot injury that kept him out of the Wild Card round of the NFL Playoffs. It appears his recovery could be going much slower than anticipated as he will go to a foot specialist in Charlotte on Monday.
The specialist in question is Dr. Robert Anderson who should provide a clearer picture of what Williams and the Steelers are dealing with. Williams was expected to play in the Divisional round of the playoffs however he could wind up sitting out for this game as well. The Steelers primary concern will likely be with starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and star wide receiver Antonio Brown.
Brown and Roethlisberger suffered injuries at the hands of linebacker Vontaze Burfict who was making dirty hits throughout the entire game. Brown ended up walking away from this game with a concussion but Roethlisberger's injury might be more serious as he has a separated throwing shoulder. It will be a tough road for both of these players to get cleared before the Divisional rounds begin however the Steelers are in high spirits about Brown.
Their spirits are not as high with Roethlisberger who may end up missing the game if he cannot throw a football down the field.
