Seahawks WR Williams could miss divisional tilt vs. 49ers

The Seattle Seahawks are concerned that the team's leading wide receiver Mike Williams will miss at least one game due to ankle and foot injuries, a team source said on Monday.

Williams suffered a sprained left ankle on Seattle's first offensive possession and did not return in Sunday's 31-14 win over the Carolina Panthers.

Williams's health situation "is not good," according to the source. The Seahawks do not see placing Williams on injured reserve at this time, but there is speculation that he would be held out past the team's Week 14 game against the San Francisco 49ers.

Already nursing a left foot strain that kept him out of Week 12's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, Williams was rolled up on while blocking on a run play against Carolina. Williams' was engaged with a Panthers defensive back when Seahawks running back Justin Forsett fell into his legs.

Williams, with his fourth team in five seasons, has thrived in Pete Carroll's system, catching 52 passes for 654 yards and a touchdown, his best numbers to date. Williams has 96 receptions for 1,193 yards and three touchdowns in his career with the Detroit Lions, Oakland Raiders, Tennessee Titans and Seahawks.

The 6-foot-5, 235-pound Williams was drafted by the Lions with the tenth-overall pick of the 2005 NFL Draft.
