Smizzy Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Top pick Williams sits out Texans practice NFL.com wire reports HOUSTON (June 7, 2006) -- Houston Texans No. 1 draft pick Mario Williams will be sidelined for the rest of the week after having the toenails on both of his big toes removed. Williams, a 6-foot-7, 292-pound defensive end, had the procedure done on June 5 after struggling with infections because of problems with his toenails. Houston has been going through organized team workouts for the past month and had their first day of minicamp on June 7. "They were bothering him throughout the camp," said Texans coach Gary Kubiak. "So instead of trying to fight it, they removed them. We're giving him a few days off to make sure it heals properly." Kubiak said Williams would probably return to practice on June 9. "We just didn't want it to be a problem when we got to the summer so took care of it now," Kubiak said. Williams signed a six-year $54 million contract the night before the draft.

Alk Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 It takes more than a week for toenails to grow back, doesn't it? I don't think they're worried about them growing back, just want the wounds to heal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raffyD Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I played rugby in college and lost my toenails all the time (sometimes both), being stepped on by a 250 pound dude wearing titanium spikes will do that. It takes months (maybe a full year) for the big toenails to grow back, but, it's not painful in the least (the painful part is them coming off). Side question: Why do we have toenails? Think about it, finger nails are used regularly but toenails serve no purpose, and not having them doesn't affect you physically. No, I'm not high.
