FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Leonard Williams didn’t even realize he was injured at first.
Then, the New York Jets rookie defensive lineman crouched on the sideline and a sharp pain shot through the back of his right knee.
“It kind of scared me,” Williams recalled Monday, “so I just told the trainers about it.”
It turns out Williams only strained a muscle behind his knee in the first half of the Jets’ 28-18 preseason victory over the Giants on Saturday night.
An MRI on Sunday revealed no cartilage damage, relieving Williams and anxious Jets fans who feared the worst for the No.
