D.J. Williams looking for clearance

Between a torn-up knee and a bum shoulder, the past seven months have been a pain for Broncos linebacker D.J. Williams.

A return to full health, though, is approaching. Williams will meet with head trainer Steve "Greek" Antonopulos this morning with the expectation he will be cleared to participate in the team's practices on a limited basis. It would be Williams' first organized action since shoulder surgery in January.

A torn rotator cuff was just one of the physical maladies Williams endured last season. Williams was leading the NFL in tackles through the first seven games, but he suffered a partially torn medial collateral ligament in his left knee Nov. 2 against Miami.
