Trayveon Williams sends message to Bengals fans after injury

Like the injury status of quarterback Joe Burrow, the recent injury suffered by Cincinnati Bengals running back Travyveon Williams doesn’t sound all that serious.

Williams went down with what looked like an ankle injury early this week and needed a cart to leave the field, as is the norm for injuries that occur on the practice fields near the stadium.

But a follow-up report said Williams will miss a few weeks with an ankle sprain.

Williams himself has since issued a statement to fans suggesting he’s doing just fine.

That’s good news for the Bengals. After losing Samaje Perine in free agency, the team didn’t make an outright effort to replace him, instead opting to position Williams and possibly rookie Chase Brown in the rotational role behind Joe Mixon.

Much of Williams’ reps in practice will now go to the likes of Brown and Chris Evans, though the veteran doesn’t sound like he’ll be out of the loop for a concerning amount of time this month.
