FRISCO, Texas – Three years removed from an serious ACL, LCL and posterior lateral corner injury that he suffered in 2022, Javonte Williams arrives in Dallas feeling fully healthy and ready to produce for the Cowboys offense.

"I feel completely like myself…" Williams said. "I probably can get more flexible and things like that, but as far as healing up, that I feel like is done."

In the two seasons he's played following the injury for the Broncos, Williams posted 1,861 yards of offense to go along with nine touchdowns in 33 games. Everyone's road to recovery is different, and now that he's feeling back to himself, Williams is looking to prove himself once again.

"It just depends on who you are, it depends on your body… mine might take this amount of time, but somebody else might be different," Williams said when asked about his recovery.

"It's a lot that goes into it that people don't really understand. Just to be back out here and have another opportunity and chance to show myself, I can't ask for nothing else."

In the early goings of OTAs, Williams has been taking a majority of the first team reps at running back. There are a lot of bodies in the room for the Cowboys, and it's still early to tell how the Cowboys' rushing attack will shape out.

"They didn't really tell me too much about that stuff, all I know is just come in here and work every day, and everything else is going to take care of itself," Williams said. "I'm not really big on the expectations and goals and stuff like that, I just go out and play well."

While Williams hasn't gotten a sense of what kind of rotation will be utilized, if there will be one at all, one thing that Brian Schottenheimer has made clear is that the Cowboys are going to be a physical offense was an emphasis on the ground game, and Williams feels they've got the offensive weaponry to capitalize on that ideology.

"From what I've seen, I feel like they're trying to run the ball a lot," Williams said. "Then, we've got a lot of playmakers on the outside and a great o-line, a great quarterback, so they're going to do their thing too, but I feel like getting the run game of the ground is something that they've been preaching on."

The other aspect that Schottenheimer and his staff are preaching heavily is the culture aspect of things, and Williams feels this coaching staff is approaching it from a genuine place rather than culture just serving as a buzzword.

"I like it a lot, everybody's energetic. There's a lot of camaraderie, even though we're competing, I feel like everybody's still getting along and kind of looking out for each other." Williams said.

"I feel like it's authentic, the coaches, they come and they have the same [energy] every day. Sometime there can be fake energy and you can kind of feel it, but I feel like it's authentic here, people are not really trying to do too much, everybody's minding their own business but we're still doing our jobs."

The next job for Williams will be firmly cementing himself as the guy in the Cowboys' run game behind what Dallas is hoping is an improved offensive line that can open up running lanes and help create play action opportunities as well.
