Jonah Williams has shoulder surgery and likely out for entire rookie season

The Cincinnati Bengals have likely lost their first-round pick for the season, again.

On Tuesday, the team revealed that Jonah Williams underwent shoulder surgery and will likely miss his rookie season.

The club confirmed that rookie left tackle Jonah Williams underwent left shoulder surgery Tuesday to repair a torn labrum that is likely to sideline him for the entire season, but he is expected to make a full recovery. He sat out the June 11-13 mandatory minicamp after getting injured the week before in practice.

And here is a statement from Zac Taylor:

“We look forward to Jonah being a major contributor in the future, and know that he won’t let this injury deter him from still being an important part of this team,” said head coach Zac Taylor in a news release.
