Dancer broncos Head coach Sean Payton suggested Saturday that running again Javonte Williams will be ready to start training camp after missing most of last season with a serious right knee injury.
Payton says that while the position isn’t very deep, it’s heavy to sign the veteran free agent Samaje’s perineum and the recovery of Williams, who exploded his right knee during the Week 4 game at Las Vegas.
Payton said: “When we signed Samaje, this is a guy that gave us flexibility. We knew he could play and be an excellent defender.” “Our current start [Williams] are doing very well. I want to tell you that we expect him to be ready to start training camp and that is good news. His recovery is going well.”
“I don’t want to speak for him or Beau [Lowery, the vice president of player health and performance] or anyone else, but we get the reports every day,” Payton said. … We hope that he is someone who may not have to go to PUP.”
Williams is one of the hottest names in fantasy football going into the second game NFL the 2022 season follows a stellar rookie year in which he scored seven touchdowns and was among the best defenders in the league.
However, on October 2, the second pick of 2021 out of North Carolina take a throw from Russell Wilson and disqualified for 1 yard loss by assault end defense MaxxCrosbywho jumped on his back as soon as Williams raised his right leg.
Williams’ knee buckled under the weight of Crosby’s 256-pound, 6-foot-5 frame, tearing his ACL, LCL, and posterior lateral angle, a complex area of tendons and ligaments around his side. beyond the knee.
Williams was told his road back would be long but in an interview with The Associated Press at the end of last season he insisted: “I expect to be back after training camp.”
General Manager George Paton said the same thing at the NFL scouting complex this spring only to retract those remarks in later interviews, saying the team wasn’t sure when he would return, just know that it will be this season.
Williams’ continued recovery is what prompted the Broncos to sign Perine to a two-year, $7.5 million free agent deal, which includes a $3 million signing bonus and level salary of $1.5 million for the upcoming season.
“When we signed him, there was still a lot of uncertainty” with Williams’ rehab process, Payton said. “I was taught a long time ago to put them in that position. It’s a difficult position in our league.”
The Broncos have three other defenders on their roster – Tyler Badie, Damarea Crockett And Tony Jones Jr.one of six former St players the Broncos have signed since Payton was hired.
Jones has made 67 career shots for 179 yards and has had no touchdowns with five NFL starts. Badie and Crockett have four NFL runs for 7 yards and no TDs between them.
Payton said he’s keeping a close eye on the backrunners at this weekend’s rookie minicamp: untrained college freelance agents Emanuel Wilson of Fort Valley State and Fort Valley State.

“We have a number here that we’re looking at in this camp,” Payton said. “I feel really good about our group of veterans being here in the building.”
