Jonah Williams cleared to resume practicing with Bengals

Cincinnati’s first-round pick is back with the team.

Cincinnati Bengals first-round pick Jonah Williams is back with the team off the physically unable to perform list after being cleared to practice.

Mid-December was always the target for Williams, who suffered a torn labrum and needed surgery over the summer. Bengals coaches had said a few weeks ago they don’t intend to use him in live action the rest of the way.

These are key developmental reps for the rookie over the last three weeks or so of the season. The long-term plan for the offensive line isn’t totally clear thanks to the Cordy Glenn factor, but Williams remains tabbed as a cornerstone building block of the unit.

For now, Glenn will continue to start at left tackle as the unit approaches an offseason undoubtedly filled with change.
