Williams (knee) didn't participate in team drills during Wednesday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
James Palmer of NFL Network previously reported that Williams, who continues to recover from a knee injury that ended his 2022 season in Week 4, would be in line to rest Wednesday, so the running back's limitations were presumably a matter of load management. Per Dan Graziano and Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, the pace of Williams' recovery from ACL surgery is highly encouraging thus far, and the Broncos have optimism that the running back can be ready to go for Week 1 in the absence of any setbacks. If the Broncos elect to ease Williams back into the mix early on, however, Samaje Perine is on hand to provide the team with another capable backfield option.
