In fact, three months after suffering the injury in the Dec. 28 season finale, Williams said he is well enough to sprint and to do some limited cutting. Asked how long it took to reach this stage after sustaining a similar injury in his opposite knee in September 2007, Williams said, "Hmmm. ... Seven, eight months." The primary difference is in the severity of the damage. This time, Williams' left patellar tendon detached from the bone. In 2007, the right tendon actually ruptured. ... As for his outlook? "Right now, I'm just taking it day by day," he said. "My whole objective is to be ready for training camp." Camp begins in late July.
