The Facts: Williams was playing with an injured left shoulder Sunday when his fumble in overtime set up the New York Giants for a game-winning field goal in the NFC Championship Game, according to Williams' father. Chicago White Sox general manager Kenny Williams said that his son was undergoing treatment Monday with the 49ers training staff for an unspecified shoulder injury.
Diehards Line:"He thinks he may have separated his shoulder in the third quarter, so he is in the training room," Kenny Williams said by phone from San Francisco. "That information he has not said anything about publicly and will not because he felt strongly that he could get the job done. There are no excuses; we don't do that. I don't want that misconstrued. ..." Kyle Williams made two miscues late in Sunday's game. Aside from his overtime fumble, a rolling punt early in the fourth quarter glanced off his knee. The Giants recovered that at the 49ers' 29-yard line and scored a go-ahead touchdown less than three minutes later. Asked if the shoulder injury played a role in either of his son's miscues, Kenny Williams was blunt. "He felt he could get the job done. He didn't. End of story," Kenny Williams said.
