After emerging as one of the NFL's most consistent and dominant defensive linemen in 2010, Buffalo Bills fans have been openly wondering what's happened to Kyle Williams this season. Turns out, he's been dealing with an injury to his left foot since training camp.

Through five games this season, Williams has recorded nine tackles, hasn't yet sacked a quarterback, and most importantly, he hasn't been the type of disruptive force that opponents need to be wary of play in and play out. In fact, there have been spurts of play in which rookie Marcell Dareus has gotten much more attention from blockers.

According to Williams, he's been playing through the injury since camp, but it "came to a head" during Sunday's win over the Philadelphia Eagles.

Williams will miss practice on Wednesday in an attempt to rest the injury so that he can try to play Sunday against the New York Giants. At the very least, this news should bring an end to the idiotic notion that Williams' play has dipped because of the $39 million contract extension he signed in August.
