Looks like this is why Octavian played as much as he did, I never even noticed B Williams out there but apparently he injuried his knee:

Bad Luck Continues For Brandon Williams
Posted by nickeatman at 8/21/2009 9:29 PM CDT on truebluefanclub.com

Rookie outside linebacker Brandon Williams just can’t catch a break. After missing the first preseason game with not one, but two shoulder injuries, the rookie from Texas Tech comes back in a rush this week so he can get on the field and play.

But not even two series into the second half, Williams suffers a knee injury while running down on a punt. His injury status is unknown, but we know it’s at least something to keep him out again.

Sure, he’s a fourth-round pick, but there’s no guarantees on this roster, especially if you’re not playing. We can only hope, for his sake, this is nothing too serious.

Tough breaks for the kid, I hope he can make the roster but it's certainly not a guarantee at this point...

Cue Dawgs coming in and making excuses for him...

Brandon makes the practice squad. Octavian makes the team. He was everywhere tonight.

BW may end up on PUP or IR...he's missed so much that it might be best for him now. He's gonna have to get well and impress in a hurry to make the opening day roster.

I think both O's made the team tonight:

Ogletree and Octavien.

Players can't be placed on PUP now. Those who began training camp on PUP could have continued on it, but once they are removed and return from practice, there's no going back to it. So if he's injured badly enough, it's IR and he's gone for the season. Otherwise, you're looking at either making space for an injured rookie on the 53-man roster or trying to sneak him through waivers onto the practice squad.
