ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Denver returner Kyle Williams tore his right Achilles during a punt return drill at training camp Saturday.
The oft-injured Williams missed much of the Broncos' offseason workouts with sore hamstrings.
He was reaching to scoop a football when he crumpled to the grass in pain and was carted off the field minutes later.
Williams, a fifth-year pro who has played in San Francisco and Kansas City, was in the mix for Denver's punt return job.
Coach Gary Kubiak said Williams "was doing a good job. He came back in great shape and was doing some return stuff, wasn't even touched.
