The Miami Dolphins
will move wide receiver Preston Williams to injured reserve for
a foot injury he suffered in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Arizona
Cardinals, coach Brian Flores confirmed Wednesday.
Williams, a second-year undrafted pro, was carted off the field
with an apparent leg injury during the first half.
"We ran some tests. It's a little bit more significant than we
initially thought," Flores said. "It's a big loss. Preston has
made a lot of plays for us over the first half of the season."
The 23-year-old wideout, who leads the Dolphins with four
receiving touchdowns this season, had four receptions for 60
yards and a touchdown before he left the game.
Going on IR means he will miss at least three games.
The Dolphins (5-3) are currently second in the AFC East. They
host the Los Angeles Chargers (2-6) on Sunday.
