Report: Panthers' DeAngelo Williams week-to-week with sprained ankle

There's a good chance the Carolina Panthers will be without running back DeAngelo Williams for their Week 5 contest against the Chicago Bears.

Williams suffered a sprained ankle in Sunday's loss and is considered week-to-week, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Williams left Sunday's game in the second quarter and did not return. He was spotted leaving the stadium with a walking cast on his right ankle.

The Panthers' backfield has been ravaged by injuries as of late, with Jonathan Stewart, Fozzy Whitaker and Mike Tolbert all nursing various ailments. They also lost fullback Richie Brockel to an ankle injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game.
