The injury Rodgers referenced is one in which Williams tore his ACL during his 2023 season with the Los Angeles Chargers.
While Williams would surely appreciate the kind words from his former QB on the Jets, he is no doubt looking forward to getting the opportunity to show the NFL exactly what he is capable of with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2024.
