‘”The left one was worse,” Williams said of the 2011 injury. “It actually damaged my Achilles. They went in and fixed it and it felt great. This one had no Achilles damage. But we were at a point where maybe in a year it might have. We needed to get it taken care of. Now it’s out of the way and free and clear. I’m excited moving forward.”‘

”’As far as the structure standpoint, it’s healed,” Williams said after the Bills opened their final week of voluntary minicamp practices. ”It’s all about getting the strength and the power back in it, and getting ready to go. And that’s where we are right now.”’

‘”I was very pleased with the way we got off to a start as far as the OTAs and practicing, the first three practices,” Marrone said of last week. “A lot of that was we as coaches are excited, the players are excited and everything has a newness to it, which creates some excitement. I think this is very critical for us as far as OTAs. Obviously the installation is heavier now than it was in the beginning.’

‘”It’s similar. It wasn’t as extensive as the last one, but similar,” he said. “There’s a bone spur that has been there and it was getting to a point that it needed to be taken care of and we took care of it.”‘

‘”Getting better,” said Williams after he took in Tuesday’s OTA session. “It’s always good to get better rather than get worse.”‘

‘The Bills have been waiting to see Stevie Johnson as a part of the team practice setting. After being limited to just individual position drills in his initial return to practice last week, Johnson’s workload was expanded to team work as he got some plays in Tuesday.’
