Jamal Williams likely done for year

Texas State's secondary took a huge hit and the season hasn't even started yet. The Bobcats, already lacking at safety, learned they might be without Jamal Williams for the year.

"It's a shame," Texas State head coach Brad Wright said. "He was the one that was probably doing the best job out of the four guys."

Williams was injured in practice late this week with an undisclosed injury and was dressed in his jersey and shorts during practice on Thursday. If Williams is lost for the season, it means T.P. Miller and Matt Schumann will need to step up.

Wright has been noted to have questions about his safeties since the beginning of fall camp, so this isn't good for the secondary. With the season opener only seven days away, Miller and Schumann will need to pick it up quickly.

That sucks. Williams is a huge key to that defense.

On the bright side, Miller's a local boy, so it'll be good to get a chance to see him play in front of the home town, especially earlier than anticipated.

This is NOT good. The safeties' job didn't get any harder though- the interior line's did. We HAVE to get some MAJOR heat on the qb from those guys now. On the bright side, TP didn't let me down necessarily last year. He was expected do do SO much and I think he probably did all he could do. The 4-3 should help. Any definitive word on this injury yet?

At practice today, I will try to find out the definitive answer on the injury. It was undisclosed when I spoke to Coach Wright at media days.
