His checked his right knee by the athletic trainers before he was helped to the injury tent on the Broncos’ sideline.
Williams was not able to put his full weight on his leg as he was helped to the sideline. A few minutes later he was taken to the Broncos’ locker room on a cart and ruled out for the remainder of the game.
Williams left the Broncos locker room on crutches as some of his teammates offered quiet encouragement. Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett said Williams will be sent for an MRI on Monday morning.
“We’re still evaluating,” Hackett said. ” … We want to be sure we get MRIs and get a feel there.”
“Obviously seeing Javonte go down, that hurt,” quarterback Russell Wilson said. “Hopefully he’ll be OK.”
