Mike Williams (ACL) activated off PUP list
The New York Jets are activating WR Mike Williams off the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list after passing a physical.

Fantasy Impact

Williams tore his ACL in Week 3 of the 2023 season, getting cut by the Los Angeles Chargers this offseason. He signed a one-year deal with the Jets to play opposite third-year WR Garrett Wilson and should be the No. 2 receiver in New York this season. Though he is coming off his injury, Williams intended to be available for the start of the regular season and is in a position to do so. It remains to be seen whether or not he will see any preseason action.
