Carnell Williams Profile

Cadillac Williams stepped onto the practice field with his teammates Wednesday morning for the first time since suffering a devastating knee injury 13 months ago.

Williams has been on the Physically Unable to Perform list. He has at least three weeks before the team has to decide whether to activate him to the 53-man roster or place him on injured reserve.

Williams said he has no doubt he will play this season.

"I do still feel the same way. I said way back I definitely felt like I was going to play," Williams said. "It's here. Now it's just a matter of me going out and doing it."
