The Facts: Following up on a previous item. ... Asked if he would play in Sunday's Pro Football Hall of Fame game against New Orleans, Williams said: "I'm not going to play, maybe catch the next one. I'm in no rush to get back on the knee. I'm just chilling. Rehab is going well. It's just not worth it to risk it in a game that doesn't mean that much."

Diehards Line:It was reported last week that Williams would likely be available for this one, but a cautious approach makes sense. Even though his return from last year's torn patellar tendon seems to be on schedule, Beanie Wells has been slower to return from a procedure performed on his knee in January. So with Wells still on the PUP, it seems wise not to risk anything with Williams. ... We will, of course, be following up on both men through the month.
