Broncos' Kyle Williams to miss season with Achilles injury

Kirby Lee / USA TODAY Sports

Denver Broncos wide receiver Kyle Williams will miss the 2015 season after being carted off the practice field Saturday with an Achilles injury.

Williams, who was injured during a punt return drill, was in tears as he was being taken to the locker room, according to Nicki Jhabvala of the Denver Post.

"Unfortunately, today I suffered an injury to my Achilles and will consequently be missing this season," Williams wrote on Instagram. "It's hard for me at this point to make sense of all of this but at the end of the day I understand and trust God's plan for me. My determination to get back and my work ethic will not diminish and I will eventually get back to full strength.

"I appreciate all those who have reached out and all of those who are praying. You all mean more to me than u (sic) know. Thank you."

Williams tore his ACL in 2012 as a member of the San Francisco 49ers and again in 2013 while with the Kansas City Chiefs. The 28-year-old also suffered a shoulder injury during the Chiefs' final preseason game of 2014 and failed to make the team's 53-man roster.
