NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported that the early indication is Kyle Williams' ACL was spared in the injury. If an MRI confirms the initial diagnosis, the defensive tackle could return this season.

The torn ACL suffered by rookie running back Derrius Guice cast a pall on the Redskins' backfield plan entering this season. Coach Jay Gruden, however, doesn't expect the team to bring in a free agent back to compete.
