SALT LAKE CITY – Former Utah Utes and current Baltimore Ravens defensive back Marcus Williams is “feared” to have torn his pectoral muscle during Week 1 of the season, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
The NFL insider reported on Williams’ injury on Sunday, September 10.
Williams left Baltimore’s opener early after suffering an injury.
After the game, Rapoport provided an update on the former Ute’s status.
“#Ravens standout DB Marcus Williams is feared to have torn his pec in today’s game, source said. He’ll have an MRI to confirm. Another major injury for Baltimore,” Rapoport posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The major injury like a torn pec could potentially end Williams’ season.
