how was this missed in the predradt process
Well, the injury in question happened after the draft. Seems pretty likely that it is related to the college neck injury though.
Ah. They haven't said what the injury is? Disc? Stress fracture? What region?
They have said it was a herniation, but didn't reveal the region which would be telling if it's related to the neck injury or not. Fixing a herniated disc really isn't a very big deal though. I'm no NFL player, but I suffered with one for 12 years before getting it surgically repaired and I've felt great ever since (8 years running).
Prior to surgery, there were weeks where I couldn't even stand up straight. My Neurosurgeon at the time said there was a 90% chance I'd never experience any issues in that area of my back again. This is likely bad for Williams short-term, but if he has a microdiscectomy (shaving away the part of the disc that's causing him nerve issues) he should be relatively good to go from there.
