JETSfaninNE Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 New York Jets rookie defensive end Leonard Williams, who gave the franchise a scare with a knee injury Saturday night against the New York Giants, didn't suffer any ligament damage, a Sunday morning MRI revealed. Williams, the sixth overall pick in the draft, sustained a muscle strain behind the knee. Although it is not considered a long-term injury, Williams' availability for the regular-season opener in two weeks is unclear. The Jets were hopeful late Saturday night that the injury wasn't serious. An X-ray was negative, and the preliminary sense was that no ligaments were damaged. The Jets are counting on Williams to start at defensive end. That wasn't the plan when they drafted him, but everything changed in early July, when Sheldon Richardson received a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. Williams started the first three preseason games, recording 1.5 sacks [including a safety]. Richardson has been playing primarily with the backups. If Williams isn't ready for Week 1, he likely would be replaced by Stephen Bowenor Leger Douzable. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoot-Face Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I don't care if he isn't available week 1. We dodged a ****in' bullet! Could've been sooooo much worse. Douzable will be a fine replacement for one game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetster Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Yea baby! He'll be there in week 1. And so will Mo. Saying it right now, Williams will win at least DROTW 3 times this year. Everything goes up a Notch in the regular season. Mo & Co. were just coasting getting in shape. When Bowles let's the dogs out it's gonna be pretty f*cking exciting! We haven't blitzed any safeties or CBs yet. Josh McCown, say hello to my little friends! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augustiniak Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 so there's a chance the top 3 draft picks will suit up for opening day, or worst case week 2. nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be problematic as far as recovery goes. Still a major relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdetroit Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Wait til week 2 to bring him back. Start Coples at DE and Mauldin at Olb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FidelioJet Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Wait til week 2 to bring him back. Start Coples at DE and Mauldin at Olb If he can play you play him. You can't take any NFL team lightly - and it's not like the Jets are a powerhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about you but I healed pretty fast when I was 21 with bumps & bruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
