"Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Cadillac Williams did not participate in Thursday's practice because of soreness in his knee.

Williams' current injury is not related to his two previous season-ending knee injuries, according to Coach Raheem Morris, who expects Williams to start against the New York Giants on Sunday.

"(He's) sore after the turf game (in Buffalo) with the knee," Morris said. "(It's) nothing to do with the surgery, nothing like that, just the first time on the turf. (He's) a little sore, but expected to play."

Williams, Tampa Bay's fifth-year running back, has 162 total yards during an 0-2 start, becoming the first player in league history to overcome torn patellar tendons in both knees.

Although Morris does not seem concerned about Williams, he could potentially be without two receivers on Sunday."
