Mike Williams is ready to step up on Sundays…and Saturdays. And maybe Wednesdays if George Pickens continues to miss with his late-season hamstring injury. But he’s embracing getting the occasional day off during the practice week in an effort to be at his physical best when he steps inside stadiums.
“That’s helpful,” Williams said of getting days off via the team’s Twitter account. “That’s helpful. I’m one of the few players who didn’t have a bye.”
Williams’ off-week was supposed to come the week of the trade deadline. But instead of heading somewhere warm, perhaps south or back out west, he went to Pittsburgh.
