The Jets' front office is breathing a collective sigh of relief.
An MRI on Sunday revealed rookie defensive end Leonard Williams suffered a muscle strain behind his right knee, per a source.
Williams, who was forced to leave Saturday night's game against the Giants in the second quarter, did not suffer any ligament damage, so the injury is not expected to be long-term.
That's good news for the Jets, who already will be without defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson for the first four games of the regular season because of a substance-abuse suspension. There's also a very good chance the league hands down another suspension following Richardson's July arrest in Missouri.
