Leonard Williams’ knee injury is apparently so minor that the rookie has no doubt he’ll be on the field when the Jets play the Browns on Sept. 13.
“I’ll definitely be ready for Week 1,” Williams said Monday. “(They) said it should be 5-7 days recovery.”
An MRI on Sunday revealed that he had a muscle strain but no ligament damage, meaning it would not be a long-term injury. But until Williams spoke Monday, it wasn’t quite clear that the injury was this mild.
Williams got hurt during the Jets’ 28-18 preseason win against the Giants on Saturday.
