The Facts:
Williams isn't backing off his stated goal of participating in training camp in some capacity, even though he remains a long way from gaining medical clearance to take the field. "It's a matter of when I'm going to be back," he said. "I know I'm going to be playing on this field again. I know I'm going to be productive."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
It's too early to know what Williams' status will be at that point, but the Bucs will have to decide prior to training camp whether to place Williams on the Physically Unable to Perform List. According to Time staffer Stephen Holder, this is the most likely outcome because it will provide the team the flexibility to move Williams back to the active roster at some point if he shows improvement. If a player starts training camp on the PUP List, he can be activated at any time during camp. If he remains there after the start of the regular season, he must stay on PUP for at least the first six games and can be activated as late as Week 10.
