Fitzgerald Toussaint and Jordan Todman will fill in for Williams, who may be available later in the playoffs if Pittsburgh advances. The 32-year-old tied for the NFL lead with 11 rushing touchdowns this season after taking over for All-Pro Le'Veon Bell, who is out for the season with a right knee injury.
Toussaint ran for 24 yards and caught a 2-point conversion after Williams went down in the regular season finale last week against Cleveland. Todman ran for 22 yards on four carries in limited action this season.
