This assignment suggests the source believes Williams may be losing ground to emerging running back Blake Corum, who rushed for over 700 yards and cut Williams' workload to roughly 52% of the team's overall carries. The source notes it is odd that LA would use their most expensive running back as a returner, and that Williams' contract suggests this is his last year with the team, raising questions about his role and future with the franchise.
