Jonah Williams’ shoulder injury likely predates time with Bengals

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.

It is not about defending the Bengals and by the way OTAs are way more physical than you are giving them credit for being. Not to mention there is still lifting and strength training going on.

What you have not addressed at all is the medical examination at the NFL combine.

I found this article especially ironic (look at the publication name..lol)
