Coach Mike Smith hopes cornerback Brian Williams will be healthy enough to play this week at Miami. The 31-year-old Williams has missed the first two preseason games and a team scrimmage because of a tender right knee that underwent reconstructive surgery last year.
The ninth-year veteran started the first five games of 2009 in his first season with the Falcons. Atlanta (1-1) visits the Dolphins (2-0) on Friday. “Brian has been practicing full-go only once a day over probably the last seven or eight practices,” Smith said Tuesday. “We’re hoping nothing flares up, and he’ll be able to participate in the game.” Defensive end Jamaal Anderson, who starts on the left side and plays tackle, missed last week’s loss to New England with a strained quadriceps, but is close to returning.
