Williams done after 6 carries
MIAMI -- Ricky Williams' latest comeback lasted one game.
The Miami Dolphins running back will miss the rest of the season with a torn chest muscle, according to his agent, Leigh Steinberg.
Williams was hurt Monday at Pittsburgh, when he played in his first game in nearly two years. He returned following a 1½-year suspension for his latest violation of the NFL drug policy.
Steinberg said the arm will be in a sling from 4-6 weeks and the rehab will take five months. But Steinberg said Williams expects to be ready for next season.
"It's sad given how hopeful Ricky had been about his return to football and given the amount of effort Ricky had put into his rehabilitation. But he's optimistic and hopeful for the future."
Williams was injured in the second quarter Monday on a play when he fumbled. After being tackled, he was accidentally stepped on while chest-down on the ground.
He left the game, returned briefly and departed for good after 1 more carry. He finished with 15 yards in 6 carries.
