Bengals starting safety Shawn Williams won't need elbow surgery

CINCINNATI -- Cincinnati Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said starting safety Shawn Williams has recovered well following his elbow injury last week and will not need surgery.

"Everything's great," Lewis said. "As he said, he's not going to let them keep a good man down. He's in a brace and moving very well. He's way ahead of where the doctors thought he would be."

Williams' injury hasn't kept him out of practice, although he's been limited to watching.

"He wants to be there on opening day, so he's doing everything he can to get himself back," Lewis said.
