Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams experienced a scary moment on Thursday night, as he took a brutal late hit from Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Derek Barnett on the Packers' first play of the game and had to be stretchered off the field.
It was reported that Williams had movement in his extremities, which was good news.
Then, on Friday morning, we received even better news, as Williams took to Instagram to ensure everyone that he was just fine.
“Only thing hurting right now is my pride for not being able to finish the game with my team. It’s all gonna be good,” Williams wrote in his Instagram story.
Williams was not the only player who had to be carted off on Thursday evening, as Eagles cornerback Avonte Maddox also had to be taken off on a stretcher after taking an accidental hit from his own teammate, safety Andrew Sendejo.
Williams also wished Maddox well in his Instagram story.
On the season, Williams has carried the ball 26 times for 87 yards while also logging eight catches for 55 yards and a touchdown.
The 24-year-old, who played his collegiate football at BYU, was originally selected by the Packers in the fourth round (134th pick overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft.
He played in all 16 games during his rookie campaign, rushing for 556 yards and four scores while averaging 3.6 yards per carry. In addition, he caught 25 passes for 262 yards and a couple of touchdowns.
Williams followed that up by totaling 464 yards and three scores on the ground last year, snaring 27 balls for 210 yards.
Green Bay fell to 3-1 with its loss to Philadelphia.
