Returning to team drills Williams (knee) will begin taking team reps Tuesday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

Impact It's a significant sign of progress on a day when so many other players that suffered ACL tears last season are being ruled out for the first four games. Williams isn't among that group, having suffered the injury early last season (Week 3) with no report of additional structural damage to his left knee. The Jets removed him from the PUP list Aug. 7 and he's been doing individual drills ever since. Williams won't automatically be ready for Week 1 at San Francisco, but all signs suggest the Jets expect him to play at some point in September.

Eyes team reps next week Williams (knee) expects to take team reps in practice next week, Eric Allen of the Jets' official site reports.

Impact Williams continues to bounce back from the ACL tear he suffered in his left knee in Week 3 last season, and participating in team drills will be a significant milestone for the wideout. As Week 1 approaches, however, it remains to be see what role the free-agent addition will handle early on, but once Williams is fully up to speed, he's on track to be a key component of the Jets passing game while working alongside top WR Garrett Wilson.

A week or two away from team drills Williams (knee) was limited to individual work at Tuesday's practice and won't take part in team drills for another week or two, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Coach Robert Saleh said Thursday that Williams, who came off the active/PUP list Wednesday, is "a lot further ahead than we anticipated," per Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record, but he declined to state whether the veteran wideout will have his snap count limited to start the season. That seems positive for Williams' chances of being available Week 1 versus the 49ers, though as he works his way back from a torn left ACL suffered Week 3 last season, it remains likely that the big-bodied contested catch specialist will need time to ramp up his effectiveness. Once at 100 percent form, Williams figures to operate as the Jets' clear No. 2 wide receiver behind Garrett Wilson, with Xavier Gipson, Allen Lazard and Malachi Corley options to factor into three-wide sets.

Comes off PUP list The Jets removed Williams (knee) from the active/PUP list Wednesday.

Impact Williams' activation from the PUP list sets him up to practice for the first time in training camp, a notable step in his recovery from a left ACL tear suffered Week 3 last season. The timing of Williams' activation perfectly aligns with the timetable provided by coach Robert Saleh earlier this offseason, indicating that his recovery is continuing on schedule. The 29-year-old is in position to operate as one of Aaron Rodgers' top targets this season, behind No. 1 wideout Garrett Wilson, with running back Breece Hall and tight end Tyler Conklin also in the mix as pass-catchers. If he can quickly get back on the field without losing a step, Williams' upside in this Jets offense could entail a 1,000-yard receiving campaign and notable usage in the red zone. There's real risk, on the other hand, that Williams could get off to a slow start to the season even if he is cleared for action Week 1 against the 49ers.

Officially moves to PUP list The Jets placed Williams (knee) on the active/PUP list Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact It's been expected that Williams would training camp on the PUP list as he works his way back from an ACL tear, with August representing a potential target for the veteran wideout's activation. The 29-year-old can come off the PUP list at any point throughout training camp, once cleared for practice activities, and he still has just over three weeks to get ready for the Jets' preseason opener against Washington. Williams still seems to have a chance at being available for Week 1, thought he could still have to to ramp up his activity level early in the season. If he can quickly return to full strength without suffering any notable setbacks in his recovery, Williams will have the opportunity to emerge as a pivotal player behind Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall in the Jets' top-heavy offense.
