Surgery on Williams' broken shinbone could happen as early as Sunday night, a team spokesman said. The spokesman said there was no timetable for Williams' return. Williams was injured by a helmet hit to his leg late in the game. Play was stopped for several minutes, and players from both teams surrounded Williams. He was helped onto a cart by two teammates and was crying as the cart drove off. Williams, a seven-time Pro Bowl pick, is in his 12th NFL season. He hadn't missed a game in his career until two weeks ago when turf toe sidelined him against the 49ers. Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
