Landry has a reputation for playing a tough game and there have been times where his temper has cost the team a 15-yard penalty.
Williams left the game and went to a local Miami hospital for tests but he traveled back to Buffalo with his teammates.
Landry approached Williams on the field following the play and appeared to give him a tap on the backside in a gesture of good will.
On Wednesday Landry was asked if he had heard from the league regarding the hit and he responded, "I have not, I have not."
"I play the game with my whole heart and for these guys in this (locker) room," Landry said. "The protection and safety, of course that matters to me. I would never deliberately try to injure anybody or hurt anybody regardless of whoever says whatever. For me, I'll leave it at that. It was a football play and I'm playing football, and that's it."
