The Buccaneers will start training camp Friday, and it appears RB Cadillac Williams could be ready after coming off a left knee injury.

Williams is expected to be among the 80 players cleared by the team, according to the St. Petersburg Times:

Williams still has to clear a final hurdle by passing an entrance physical after reporting Friday at One Buc Place. The Bucs could buy Williams more time by placing him on the active Physically Unable to Perform list. That would enable Williams to attend meetings, but he wouldn’t be able to practice. A player on the active PUP list counts against the 80-man roster but can be removed from the list at any time during the camp.

Other news and notes from around the Web on a Wednesday:

• While WR Brandon Marshall is unhappy about his contract situation with the Broncos, the team doesn’t see the situation as a distraction.

• With Derrick Mason retired, the Ravens are looking for answers at wide receiver. Demetrius Williams believes he could be part of the solution and is trying to turn potential into production.

• After a disappointing finish that resulted in missing the playoffs last season, the Cowboys are focused on moving forward.

• The Lions have gone through extension changes coming off an 0-16 season, but there could be a few more new faces on the roster.

• After offseason talk of being replaced, Redskins QB Jason Campbell is out to prove he can lead and set an example for the team.
