Cruising SB*Nation for player news, I saw this from Buc 'Em. Apparently Cadillac has a problem with herniated disks, according to Juiced Sports, where there is more detail here.
Two observations: 1) as a reply on Buc 'Em notes, it's not like other players in the NFL don't have chronic injuries and 2) according to one of Juiced Sports' sources, the NFL teams knew about Cadillac's back before he was drafted.
Given the fact the Bucs know and didn't get any backfield help to compete with Williams, we can deduce they aren't terribly worried about it.
The Mustard: One must assume this limits Cadillac Williams' upside. He may never get much more than 300 carries and will probably always miss a game or two per year. He's still quite a value if you can get him late, but I'm thinking he's more of a mid-to-low RB2 prospect. If you have him in dynasty leagues, you're kind of stuck. His stock is too low to trade and get value for, but when this news gets around, his stock won't be going up anytime soon.
