Shawn Williams injury leaves Bengals teammates somber

CINCINNATI -- Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Josh Shaw knew something was very wrong when he heard Shawn Williams screaming.

Williams went down during the first half of Saturday's preseason game against the Chiefs.

Williams is known for being one of the tough guys around the locker room, so to hear him in so much pain was jarring for Shaw. Many of Williams teammates immediately got on one knee as athletic trainers tended to him, then gave him a pat on the shoulder as he was lifted into a cart.

"To hear him yelling like that, (I knew) it can't be good," Shaw said.
