Avery Williams Reportedly Returns to Training: Source Hints at Promising Comeback

Time To Start Thinking About Eagles' Return Game?

Philadelphia — According to a source familiar with the situation, Avery Williams has resumed light training activities as part of his recovery process, hinting at a potential return ahead of the Eagles' official training camp this summer.

Williams, a dynamic special teams weapon and one of the league's most efficient return specialists, missed the entire 2024 NFL season after suffering a torn ACL during offseason workouts with the Atlanta Falcons. The 25-year-old was waived in 2025 and later picked up by the Philadelphia Eagles, who are in need of a consistent return threat.

Standing at 5-foot-9 and 195 pounds, Williams has built his reputation on explosive speed, field vision, and shiftiness. During the 2022 season, he averaged 16.2 yards per punt return — the highest in the league — and consistently flipped field position in favor of the Falcons. His ability to provide instant momentum and field advantage made him one of the most underrated assets in the NFL’s special teams landscape.

The source, who requested anonymity, claimed that Williams has returned to field work on a side practice field, performing agility drills and working closely with trainers. While he has not yet joined full-team drills or media-attended OTAs, the visual of him back in cleats is encouraging.

Despite the optimism, it’s important to note that the Eagles have not officially confirmed his return, and Williams’ availability for training camp remains uncertain. ACL injuries typically require 9–12 months of recovery, and the Eagles are expected to be cautious with his workload.

Are you waiting for him to comeback?

Jerry Jones Speaks Out, Criticizes the Controversy Surrounding the Cowboys WR After the Loss to the Lions
DALLAS — Jerry Jones has finally had enough. In a fiery radio interview on 105.3 The Fan Tuesday morning, the Cowboys owner publicly ripped into star wide receiver George Pickens for his explosive, now-deleted Instagram beef with Richard Sherman following the Thanksgiving nightmare against the Detroit Lions. “I love everything George has done this year,” Jones said. “But let me be very clear — I don’t want to see him sitting on Instagram arguing with Richard Sherman or anybody else. Put the phone down, stop the social media nonsense, and focus on playing football. That’s what we pay him for.” Mic drop. The 82-year-old owner rarely calls out his own players by name in public, making this one of the sharpest rebukes in recent Cowboys history. Quick recap of the chaos: Lions game: CeeDee Lamb gets hurt and leaves early → Pickens disappears with a miserable 5 catches for 37 yards. Richard Sherman goes on TV and says Pickens “quit on routes” and showed zero effort. Pickens claps back with a savage (and quickly deleted) Instagram story: “Old man still talking.” Internet explodes. Despite the ugly performance, Pickens still leads the Cowboys in every major receiving stat (78 receptions, 1,179 yards, 8 TDs), but Jerry Jones just drew a line in the sand: the social media wars end today. “I have zero concern about George competing and helping us win games on the field,” Jones continued. “My only concern is him wasting time and energy on this Instagram back-and-forth instead of turning the page.” Will this public dressing-down light a fire under Pickens… or pour gasoline on an already raging controversy? One thing is certain — every snap this Sunday will be scrutinized like never before. Is Jerry Jones right to go nuclear on his star WR? Or did he just make the drama ten times worse?
