The wet turf and some soreness in his surgically repaired right knee led to the decision to keep him out of the workout. It is part of the cautious approach Williams and the team are taking 11 months after he ruptured his patella tendon in a preseason game, an injury that wiped out his rookie season. “Last (Wednesday) was really my first day of practice since the incident,” Williams said. “So there are going to be some times when it will get sore, they will like me to take a break and things of that sort. Its just precautionary.” He said he might not play in Sundays Hall of Fame Game against New Orleans in Canton, Ohio, “just for the simple fact that I know Im not 100 per cent.” “Theres still sort of a mental block that I have to break down facing another team that will probably be 10 times as aggressive as our team (has been on practice),” Williams said. “I want to make sure Im completely comfortable and mentally comfortable with myself before I get out there.” He said he has talked with coach Ken Whisenhunt about whether to play on Sunday. “He asked me how comfortable do I feel,” Williams said, “and said Id let him know later on this week.” But the diminutive, dynamic running back says he has no doubt he will be ready for the regular season, when he is expected to give the Cardinals offence a big-play aspect it will sorely need. He is expected to give Arizona a strong two-back threat along with Beanie Wells, who remains on the physically unable to perform list while recovering from knee surgery. Wells believes he will be back in time for the season opener. Williams talent was on full display in the teams Red and White scrimmage last Saturday, when he took off on a 44-yard run, the biggest play of the day for a mostly sputtering offence. J.J. Watt Jersey. Although he has yet to play in a regular-season game, Williams has become a fan favourite, as evidence by his reception from the estimated 14,500 fans on hand. “I think this is such a tough business, you have respect for players that are gifted, that do things on the field you just go Wow,” Whisenhunt said. “And Ryan does that every once in a while. Thats what catches everybodys eye, like the 44-yard run in practice the other day.” Williams said people who have seen him play realize “that I can bring another dimension to the team.” “Theyre anxious to see that on the field,” he said. “Im anxious to be out there myself.” The Cardinals drafted Williams in the second round out of Virginia Tech a year ago, and he made an immediate impression. His presence was a factor in Arizonas decision to trade running back Tim Hightower to the Washington Redskins in July of last year. Williams ability to cut on a dime, combined with tremendous speed and surprising power, gave the 5-foot-9, 207-pound runner an ever-increasing role leading to the 2011 season. But he went down in a preseason game against Green Bay last Aug. 19, and has had to patiently, persistently work on rehabilitating the injury ever since the subsequent surgery. He said he knows that many players have needed more than a year to come back from the injury, so he feels comfortable with his current schedule. Williams also said that enduring the injury and the work it took to come back from it has changed the kind of person he is. “I had a lot of time to myself, just to really sit back and just think,” he said. “I felt like I became a better man.” ’ ’ ’
