Jets WR Williams 'feels good,' cleared for opener vs. 49ers

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Quarterback Aaron Rodgers will have his full arsenal of playmakers in Week 1, as wide receiver Mike Williams was cleared to play in the New York Jets' opener.

Williams, who underwent knee surgery after tearing his ACL last September while playing for the Los Angeles Chargers, began training camp on the physically-unable-to-perform list and worked his way back, joining 11-on-11 drills this week.

Coach Robert Saleh said Thursday it "wouldn't be fair" to expect Williams to be at his pre-injury form at the outset. "He's going to be available Week 1, but to expect him to be 100% -- we're going to be very smart with how we use him," Saleh said.
