Cardinals lost Williams for the season with a patellar tendon injury

By Anthony Caruso III

The Arizona Cardinals took a huge blow to their offense.

Head coach Ken Whisenhunt has revealed after Friday night's preseason game that Ryan Williams has a torn patellar tendon. Williams, a rookie, had to be carted off the field after a six-yard run in the third quarter.

This is a season-ending injury. It is also a potentially career-threatening injury, depending on Williams' recovery process. But the good news in regards to this injury is that Williams is just 21-years-old and should be able to recover from it.

He will need to undergo major knee surgery and his NFL rookie season is washed out. If he recovers properly, he should be healthy by the start of the 2012 training camp.

Beanie Wells is expected to receive more carries with Williams being lost for the season.
