People can say what they want about the main article being fake, but Williams did wear a shoulder harness on that shoulder in college towards the end of his career. The author also claims that you don't wear those for protective measures like a knee brace and that they are to provide stability for an injury.

I think it's also plausible that he was able to get by with the injury in college and then in the Pros where everyone is good, decided to have it fixed.

At the end of the day though...only Jonah likely knows. Whether it was before or after though, he's out for the year. That's the bottom line.

It apparently makes some people feel good to defend the Bengals by thinking that he got hurt in non-contact OTA's. So be it.

I could see this scenario: Williams is a beast but he is injured. The fans will go bananas if we draft a injured lineman again. We draft him and then say he got injured after we drafted him. It looks like Bengals bad luck but we still get to sucker the fans into thinking we know what we are doing.
