Zook on Juice Williams: He's sore

Illinois coach Ron Zook said Sunday that no further tests are planned for quarterback Juice Williams, who suffered a strained leg muscle on his first play Saturday night against Illinois State.

Illinois doesn't play again until Sept. 26 (at Ohio State), which will give Williams time to rest.

"He's sore," Zook said.

The Illini did lifting and light running on Sunday, but Zook planned to have Williams on an exercise bike instead.

"They feel he'll be sore for a couple of days, but it won't be something that will limit him too long," Zook said.
