TaborJet Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Williams out indefinitely after breaking arm REGINA, Saskatchewan -- Running back Ricky Williams broke his left arm in the second quarter of the Toronto Argonauts' 26-23 victory over the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Saturday night and is out indefinitely. Argonauts coach Mike "Pinball" Clemons confirmed the injury but did not specify which bone was broken. "He has a broken arm, so he's going to be out for a little while," Clemons said. Williams, who was not available for interviews, left the game midway through the second quarter after a 3-yard gain when he was tackled by several Saskatchewan players, including linebacker Mike McCullough. X-rays taken at a Regina hospital revealed a broken bone. "He was actually holding himself off the ground," Clemons said of Williams. "He was running with the ball and he was trying to hold himself up, I think. It was a pile of people and we saw him coming down. "We knew he was hurt when he came off the field. It looked like it was his shoulder [from] the way he was leaning, but it turned out be his arm. "You're talking about some fortitude. It's a clean break. He just came off quiet, didn't say a thing. Like, I'd have been screaming." Williams finished with 17 yards on four carries, including one run of 16 yards. He entered Saturday's game sixth in the league in rushing with 214 yards on 53 carries with one touchdown in four games. Williams is playing in the CFL after he was suspended by the NFL for one year after violating the league's substance abuse policy for a fourth time. He is still under contract with the NFL's Miami Dolphins. Any games Williams misses will be the first he sits out due to injury since a broken left ankle forced him to miss the last six games of the 2000 NFL season, when he was with the New Orleans Saints.

Gainzo Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Why shouldn't I? If you enjoy players getting their arms broken then that is something you have to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exit 117 Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 [sincerity]I'm so saddened by the Dolphins' loss; couldn't happen to a player who deserved it less. It's a shame that it happened, really; I was looking forward to him staying in football shape and coming back in 2 years and running over the Jets like usual.[/sincerity] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone who wants to see the best player on the other team get hurt because that gives your crappy team a chance to beat them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred Jetstone Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 The Canadian air force responded to a report of a burning or bombed stadium. Turned out that it was just Ricky puffin' away on the sidelines. With the arm in a sling he was reported as saying "This is medicinal, it's medicinal now, lookit the arm, medicinal."
