Bengals' first-rounder Williams cleared to practice

The Cincinnati Bengals said Thursday that first-round pick Jonah Williams was cleared to practice for the first time since undergoing shoulder surgery in June. The 6-foot-4, 305-pound offensive tackle from Alabama was the 11th overall selection in the 2019 NFL Draft.

The Bengals have the option to activate the 22-year-old Williams at any time during the remainder of the season, although he is not expected to play. He sustained a torn labrum during offseason activities in June and was placed on the reserve/physically unable to perform list on Aug. 31.
