Jets star Mike Williams to start training camp on PUP list
NY Post
Jets fans won’t be able to watch one of the team’s most marquee offseason acquisitions just yet.
Gang Green announced Thursday that Mike Williams will begin training camp on the active/physically unable to perform (PUP) list alongside fullback Nick Bawden and defensive tackle Leonard Taylor.
Williams, who signed a one-year deal with a reported $8.3 million guaranteed this offseason, also missed the organization’s organized team activities (OTAs) and mandatory minicamp after he suffered a torn ACL early last season.
In mid-June, head coach Robert Saleh said Williams, 29, likely will follow a similar recovery that running back Breece Hall took last year after his torn ACL, meaning limited snaps until the regular season begins.
In addition to the three players landing on the active/PUP list, rookie quarterback Jordan Travis was placed on the non-football injury list — dating back to his leg fracture on Nov. 18 with Florida State — as was undrafted free agent receiver Tyler Harrell.
Travis, the Jets’ fifth-round pick, slots in as the team’s third quarterback behind veterans Aaron Rodgers and new signee Tyrod Taylor.
The offseason signing of Vladislav Gavrikov became exponentially more important for the Rangers when Adam Fox was ruled out for the foreseeable future.
