The Denver Broncos received a boost of good news as talented running back Javonte Williams announced that he will be ready to participate in training camp despite recovering from a serious knee injury.
Williams, who suffered a torn ACL and LCL in Week 4 of the 2022 season against the Las Vegas Raiders, is determined to join his teammates when veterans gather for camp in Englewood, Colorado, on July 25.
At a youth camp organized by Williams and teammate Patrick Surtain II, the young running back expressed his confidence in being medically cleared for the start of camp.
Williams has been working diligently in rehab, impressing both his teammates and the Broncos organization. NFL Network’s James Palmer reported that the team has been impressed with Williams’ commitment and progress during his rehabilitation.
When asked about his readiness for training camp, Williams stated, “I mean, that’s the plan. I feel like I’m ready to go.” While his return is contingent on evaluation and approval from the Broncos medical staff, Williams is optimistic about his recovery.
He is focused on regaining his speed and returning to his pre-injury form, which showcased his physicality and potential during his rookie season.
