Texans linebacker Mario Williams left Sunday’s game against the Saints after having his knee hyperextended when his leg banged into teammate Antonio Smith.

After spending some time getting the knee examined and eventually riding a bike, Williams returned to the game.

Per a source with knowledge of the situation, Williams says he’s fine.

“A scare but all is OK,” the source said.
