The Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Troy Williamson tore his labrum during Sunday’s 31-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. As Coach Jack Del Rio did not have test results, fellow receivers said Monday that Williamson could be out for the year.
Williamson was a first-round pick by the Minnesota Vikings in 2005, and his performance was the team’s biggest surprise during the preseason. He caught 12 passes for 247 yards and a touchdown, and earned a starting spot opposite Torry Holt. If he was out for the season, the Jaguars would have to choose a starting receiver from Holt, Mike Sims-Walker, rookies Mike Thomas and Jarett Dillard. Another receiver Nate Hughes was released by the Jaguars on Monday.
According to Sims-Walker, something was torn on Williamson’s shoulder. At least it was much more serious than a little Shoulder sprain. Losing Williamson should be a big loss to the team, but it also gave the other receivers a chance to compete for the starting job. Like Thomas said, they have been prepared and ready for whatever opportunities and would take advantage of them.
