Former NFL receiver Mike Williams, 36, is on life support after sustaining injuries last week in a construction accident.

It was previously reported by Spectrum News 1 in Buffalo that Williams had died after his injuries, but the Tampa Bay Times is now reporting that Williams is in fact on life support.

“They were waiting on me and [his daughter]. We’re here and still trying to figure it out,” Tierney Lyle, the mother of Williams’ 8-year-old daughter, said, according to the Times.

“He was asleep when we went in there and he woke up when he heard our voices and his daughter’s voice,” Lyle said. “And he looked around, and he blinked and he was crying but he can’t move.”

Williams’ agent confirmed to 7 News WKBW in Buffalo that the receiver is still alive.

Lyle added that the plan was to remove Williams, 36, from life support, but that has not happened yet.

Williams was injured in a construction accident in Hillsborough County last week, which encompasses most of Tampa.

A GoFundMe page set up by Williams’ father, Latrina Moore, said a steel beam fell on Williams’ head and caused a “massive head injury,” creating “swelling in his brain and swelling on his spinal cord that was ruptured.”

“These injuries resulted in complete paralysis in his right arm as well as his lower body from the waist down.”

Moore wrote that Williams never regained consciousness after he passed out on Sept. 1, but doctors induced him into a coma on Sept. 3 and had a “scheduled time to try to wake him up in 3 days.”

The wide receiver, a Buffalo native, was a breakout star at Syracuse before he was selected in the fourth round of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Buccaneers.

He caught 133 passes for 2,044 receiving yards and punched in 20 touchdowns, which was second on the school’s all-time leaderboard.

Williams enjoyed an excellent rookie campaign with Tampa Bay, catching 65 passes for 964 yards and 11 touchdowns, finishing second in Offensive Rookie of the Year voting.

After four seasons with Tampa Bay, he went to his hometown Bills in 2014 for the final year of his career.
