Javonte Williams, the Denver Broncos’ running back, may be out for the rest of the season after having a serious knee injury in the team’s Week 4 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.
Javonte Williams has suffered a serious knee injury
Williams was taken off the field after suffering a knee injury during Sunday’s game and did not come back.
Following the game, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that the Broncos are not hopeful about the injury, with Williams likely suffering a serious knee injury.
That means Williams will be out for an extended period of time, possibly the rest of the season:
#Broncos RB Javonte Williams is feared to have suffered a serious knee injury, source said. He’ll have an MRI tomorrow to determine the full extent, but there is not a lot of optimism surrounding the injury.

That’s bad news for the former North Carolina standout, who is in his second season with the Broncos. After a standout rookie season, Williams came into this season with high expectations.
Sharing carries with Melvin Gordon this season, he rushed for 176 yards on 37 carries in the first three games.
The Broncos will have an MRI on Monday in the hopes that the injury isn’t serious.
