Inside The Bills

Cards lose RB Williams

With Beanie Wells out until Week 12 with turf toe, Arizona was planning to lean heavily on Ryan Williams, but the shoulder injury he suffered last Thursday night has landed him on injured reserve.

Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt confirmed that Williams will need shoulder surgery and is out for the year. That leaves Arizona’s run game very thin heading into their game this Sunday against the Bills. A committee approach is expected with William Powell, LaRod Stephens-Howling and Alfonso Smith all expected to get carries.
