What Happened to Dee Williams? Seahawks Rookie Carted Off vs. 49ers After Brutal Injury

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Dee Williams suffered a gruesome injury and was carted off the field on a stretcher during the team's preseason opener against the San Francisco 49ers.

Williams was injured late in the first half of Seattle's 27-11 loss to San Francisco on Saturday night at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

The Seahawks have not yet provided an official update on Williams' injury, but it appeared to be a serious ankle injury.

Williams was blocking on a run play when his right leg was twisted awkwardly at the ankle. He immediately fell to the ground in pain and was surrounded by trainers.

After being examined on the field, Williams was helped to his feet and assisted to the sideline. He was then carted off the field and taken to the locker room for further evaluation.

The Seahawks are hoping that Williams' injury is not as serious as it appeared. The team is already thin at running back, and Williams was expected to be a key contributor this season.

Williams was a fifth-round pick by the Seahawks in the 2023 NFL Draft. He rushed for 1,082 yards and 14 touchdowns in his final season at the University of Arkansas.
