Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Jesse Williams tweeted he was cleared to work out on Thursday, just two weeks after undergoing surgery for kidney cancer.

The 24-year-old was diagnosed with papillary Type 2 renal cancer in May and underwent surgery at the University of Washington Medical Center on May 28.
A fifth-round pick out of Alabama in 2013, Williams has yet to play in a regular-season game with the Seahawks. He appeared in just two preseason games after season-ending knee injuries in both of his NFL campaigns.
