Dolphins' top receiver Williams out for season; reportedly tore ACL

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores announced Monday that wide receiver Preston Williams suffered a season-ending injury against the New York Jets in Week 9, according to ESPN's Cameron Wolfe.

Flores failed to disclose specific information on the injury, but Williams left Sunday's game after hurting his knee, Wolfe added.

The rookie wideout suffered a torn ACL, a league source told Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post.

"It's a big loss for us," Flores said. "Talked to him this morning. He's done an incredible job for us ... I was devastated for the kid. I told him this is just a bump in the road."

Williams was signed as an undrafted free agent in May. He spent two years at Tennessee before transferring to Colorado State for the 2018 campaign. The former highly touted recruit was arrested in 2017 on a misdemeanor assault charge following a domestic violence incident.

The 22-year-old leads Miami with 32 catches and 428 receiving yards through eight games this season.
