PITTSFORD, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills safety Aaron Williams is being evaluated for a suspected concussion, a team spokesperson said, after Williams collided with wide receiver Dezmin Lewis during an 11-on-11 drill in practice Thursday evening.Coach Rex Ryan told players in the post-practice huddle that Williams appears to have avoided a neck injury. Williams, a sixth-year safety, missed 13 games last season because of a Week 2 neck injury that required him to be transported from the field in an ambulance after he experienced numbness in parts of his body.Just to know the whole neck, collision thing, any time he collides, I mean, Im thinking about it, receiver Robert Woods said. I dont know if [Williams] is [thinking about it] or not, but when you see a guy go down like that who has a history with neck injuries, thats the first thing that comes to your mind.The team spokesperson said Lewis was being evaluated generally by the Bills medical staff.The two players, who apparently did not realize they were in each others paths, collided as Lewis ran a pass route close to the line of scrimmage. The loud sound of the contact quickly hushed the crowd, brought some teammates to a knee in prayer and generally changed the tone of what had been a slower-paced practice without full shoulder pads.When you look over and you see its [Williams], your thoughts go to his neck and those sorrts of things, defensive tackle Kyle Williams said.dddddddddddd As somebody whos been around him a long time, you get concerned for him. You say a prayer for him.Both players remained on the ground for several moments before Lewis, holding his right arm awkwardly, walked off with a trainer. Williams was surrounded by several members of the medical staff before he walked to the locker room with two trainers initially holding his arms.After being taken off the field in an ambulance in September, Williams attempted to return to play in October against the Tennessee Titans. He experienced numbness again in one side of his body, which resulted in the team placing him on injured reserve and Williams undergoing surgery to shave vertebrae in his neck.Williams was uncertain of the future of his playing career until he tested his neck while making a tackle during an intrasquad scrimmage last week.When I hit [running back James Wilder Jr.], I stopped and made sure that I could feel everything and I could turn my neck without feeling any pain, Williams said Saturday. I realized I was all good. It was a sigh of relief. Im super blessed that I can keep playing and do what I do. I love being with my teammates. I love being on the field with these guys. ' ' '
