The level of optimism around Broncos running back Javonte Williams’ recovery has apparently jumped substantially in recent weeks.So much so that coach Sean Payton said Saturday that the third-year back, coming off a major knee injury, may not only be ready for the start of the regular season but that he has a chance to be cleared for the start of training camp in late July.“I would tell you that we expect him to be ready for the start of training camp. That’s good news,” Payton said. “His rehab is going well. I don’t want to speak for him or (VP of player health and performance Beau Lowery), but we get the daily reports.”Williams suffered a torn ACL and additional damage in his knee on Oct. 2 against Las Vegas.

The first major-league batter Bard faced was Erick Aybar, who grounded out to second base.Now, 366 games, 415 1/3 innings and 65 saves later, Bard is still trying to figure it all out.“I’m working through it,” Bard told me recently when I asked him how he’s dealing with the anxiety that almost cost him his baseball career and derailed his first three weeks of this season.In July 2020, Bard made his debut for the Rockies after being absent from the majors for seven seasons because of a confounding case of “the yips.” He was named National League Comeback Player of the Year.But Bard’s anxiety didn’t magically disappear. He still struggles, on and off the field. He’s never been ashamed to admit t...
