Shawn Williams has been relegated to special teams through his first two NFL seasons, but the hope is he'll finally find a role in the defense that leads to him being on the field more in his third year.
If Shawn Williams is to assume a bigger role in the Bengals' defense this year, it starts now in Organized Team Activities.
Williams is running with the first-team defense right now as the team continues Phase 3 of OTAs. George Iloka is dealing with what the team is calling a 'minor' injury that shouldn't hold him out for too much longer which probably means he's out for 2-3 months.
