The Facts: Williams has been cleared for contact and head coach Sean Payton told reporters on Thursday that Williams will be on the field during the team’s preseason schedule. Payton added that it remains to be determined when Williams will be in the lineup. “He’ll get reps,” Payton said, via Troy Renck of Denver7. “It may be we wait ’til Week 2, we haven’t gone through the outline of the plays yet. I like how he’s progressing.”
Diehards Line:
We were all excited when Williams, coming off three torn ligaments in his knee, avoided the PUP list. This adds to the positive vibe. ... The Broncos open the preseason on August 11 against the Cardinals and then face the 49ers on August 19. ... We'll continue watching for more.
