DENVER (Map, News) - The already hurting Denver Broncos defense suffered another serious injury Sunday.

Weak-side linebacker and captain D.J. Williams went down with a knee injury in the fourth quarter of Denver's 26-17 loss to the Miami Dolphins. The injury happened as Williams tackled running back Ronnie Brown on a screen play.

Broncos coach Mike Shanahan said Williams injured the MCL in his knee. Shanahan indicated he didn't expect the linebacker to play Thursday in Cleveland.

"I can't give you a timeframe, but it will be a little while," Shanahan said.
