Pro-bowl defensive end Mario Williams, and stand out sophomores wide receiver Robert Woods and linebacker Kiko Alonso all underwent various procedures in the offseason to clear up some lingering issues.
Williams and Alonso both had hip surgery while Woods underwent an ankle procedure. Neither Woods nor Alonso participated in team drills on Wednesday, but that shouldn’t be cause for concern. Marrone stated that all players are expected to be fully healthy and won’t miss any time during the season.
Things like these shouldn’t be something that fans get worked up about.
