Given his apparent trade request after the Cincinnati Bengals signed Orlando Brown Jr. in free agency, it’s a little easy to forget that Jonah Williams continues to work his way back from surgery.
Williams underwent surgery in February to address the dislocated kneecap near the end of the season.
Fast forward to now, he’s providing fans with updates via his Instagram stories. One of those shows him box-squatting 500 pounds for four reps, a huge number for anyone on the planet, let alone a guy fresh off surgery.
It’s a sign to the Bengals — and likely other teams that might have an interest in trading for him — that he’s progressing nicely, especially after he was one of the notables to not report to Bengals voluntary workouts last week.
