FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - When the Jets took the practice field Monday, rookie defensive end Leonard Williams headed over to join the injured players going through their rehab routines off to the side. It could have been a lot worse. He could have been lying on an operating table undergoing surgery to repair the right knee he injured during the Jets' preseason win over the Giants Saturday night.
The sixth overall pick in the NFL Draft admitted that was his fear when he first felt pain in his knee after another player rolled up the back of his leg during a first-half pass-rush situation.
