Kiszla vs. Gabriel: What’s the most production Broncos can expect from Javonte Williams in 2023?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:09:12 GMT

But I believe an even bigger factor to the team’s fortunes will be how quickly Javonte Williams recovers from a nasty knee injury suffered last October against the Raiders. So let’s try to balance optimism with common sense. What’s the best we can expect from Williams in his first season back on the field?Gabriel: Wait a second, aren’t you supposed to be spending your days listening to Roundball Rock and chronicling an honest-to-goodness postseason run? What’s all this football talk? As it happens, Payton delivered the most optimistic update on Williams to date last time he talked, saying he thought the third-year back has a chance to return for the start of training camp in late July. Day 1 of camp — I know you can’t wait — will be just shy of 10 months post-inju...
