(UPI) -- Things just keep getting worse for the 0-7 Tampa Bay Buccaneers as they were forced to place wide receiver Mike Williams on injured reserve on Monday because of a a right hamstring injury, ending his season.
"Mike had a hamstring injury that he tried to play through but it just wasn’t effective doing it,'' coach Greg Schiano said. "He’ll get surgery now and be repaired and he’ll be fine. It’s just going to be a little bit of a recovery. So after getting all the information from the doctors, he was allowed to try. He did for two weeks but wasn’t really himself and couldn’t do the things he needs to do to be effective. So it’s time to get surgery.''
