TORONTO -- Ricky Williams' luck with the Toronto Argonauts of the CFL has yet to improve.
Williams, the Miami Dolphins running back who is playing with the Argos this season while he sits out a one-year suspension from the NFL, injured his left heel Saturday in a freak locker-room accident during a 23-16 win over the Calgary Stampeders.
He was playing in his second game since returning from a broken arm earlier in the season. Williams was suspended for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy and is expected to return to the Dolphins in 2007.
The Toronto Star reported Williams suffered a serious gash on his left heel when a locker room door slammed shut behind him. He was expected to be examined Monday to determine if the accident damaged his Achilles tendon.
"We do know that it's his Achilles, but we have to wait for the [X-ray] pictures," coach Mike Clemons told the newspaper, adding he did not know the severity of the damage.
Williams scored on a 9-yard touchdown run before the accident happened.
