Mario Williams injury: Bills DE says wrist to blame for struggles

Williams stated on Tuesday that his wrist has caused him to struggle in 2012 and has made him hesitate when attempting to get to the backfield. As of this time, the injury has yet to force Williams to miss any games this season.

The Bills signed Williams to a six-year, $100 million contract ($50 million guaranteed) this past offseason. Through seven games, Williams has yet to make an impact with the team registering 16 tackles and 3.5 sacks.

Hesitation, for a defensive player who makes his living on his ability to get to the backfield, can be a truly hampering thing, to be sure. Williams said, regarding the hesitation, “It’s on me. That’s fine. I know I gotta change that. Believe me, I don’t need anybody to tell me that.”
