Williams (wrist) has been cleared for minimal-contact workouts and may return to practice Friday, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams will begin contact work for the first time since suffering the wrist injury at the end of October. Johnson relays that the 20-year-old's rehab process is still behind Alex Caruso, but barring any setbacks from his minimal-contact workouts, Williams should be back at practice by the end of the week. If he is cleared for full practices soon, his return to game action should be right around the corner.
