Source: Jets' Leonard Williams has no ligament damage

The Jets' front office is breathing a collective sigh of relief.

An MRI in 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.
