The Facts:
Williamson underwent a medical procedure earlier this week to remove an abscess from his left hip and will not participate in this weekend's mini-camp, Brad Childress said this morning. According to Childress, the infection was in the area of a skin graft Williamson received when he was 10 -- the result of a childhood accident in which Williamson suffered third-degree burns on 17 percent of his body. The area is more susceptible to infection as a result, Childress said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Williamson, the Vikings' top draft choice in 2005, worked with the first team during the Vikings' first veteran mini-camp last month. Childress said he had no reason to believe Williamson won't be ready for training camp when it opens in late July.
