ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Joe Lombardi expected exactly the tough yards and gritty offensive identity that running back Javonte Williams has provided the Denver Broncos this season — only he envisioned it happening in 2024.The Broncos offensive coordinator arrived in Denver this spring along with new coach Sean Payton and the two of them studied the tantalizing film of Williams’ rookie year in 2021 before his second season was cut short by a complex right knee injury. Soon, they began to see that same player on the field as Williams embarked on his comeback. Still, Lombardi said he was cautioned not to get his hopes up.“They’re like, ‘Look, you can’t count on a guy who’s had this injury no matter how well he’s rehabbing, no matter how hard he’s working. History tells you that it’s a two-year injury,'” Lombardi said. “And he’s defied that.”Williams was selected as the team’s Ed Block Courage Award winner at a team meeting on Thursda...

EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — Jordan Hicks took a blow to the shin during a routine tackle for the Minnesota Vikings in the first quarter of a game last month and figured he just had a deep bruise.After returning to action, the ninth-year veteran linebacker began to realize after halftime his right leg was growing weaker. He nearly rolled his ankle while trying to make a cut because his strength was so sapped, prompting him to seek attention on the sideline again.Once Hicks made it to the training room, with the adrenaline worn off, he spiraled into a cauldron of searing pain that forced him to curl up in the fetal position unable to focus on anything but breathing.“It is the deepest, darkest ache you can probably imagine,” Hicks said. The team’s medical staff diagnosed him with compartment syndrome, a freak buildup of pressure in and around the muscles caused by internal bleeding or swollen tissues that can cause severe damage or even death if left untreated. So Hicks had to be rushed ...
