Cadillac encouraged by rehab progress
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Carnell "Cadillac" Williams has gone through ups and downs in his four-year career. To be precise, he started up and has since been down.
The back that rushed for nearly 1200 yards in his rookie campaign (2005) is rehabbing his second major knee injury, which occurred on December 28th.
Unlike the first time, he's doing things (i.e., running and limited cutting) three months after this injury that he wasn't doing until "seven, eight months" after the first injury in 2007.
Williams has hopes of heading into training camp completely healthy. The Bucs also have Earnest Graham and Derrick Ward, who was signed in the off-season. It will be interested to see how the mix of carries will be split if all are healthy.

"It's a lot different," he added. "(Last) time, at three months, I was basically still on crutches."Williams is running already largely due to the level of severity of this injury (detached patellar tendon) versus the first injury (ruptured patellar tendon).
