Ricky Williams began his return to South Florida on Monday when he packed some of his belongings and drove from Northern California, agent Leigh Steinberg said, according to the MIAMI HERALD.
''Yes, he's driving there,'' Steinberg said Monday afternoon. ``I talked to him this morning, and he said he was all packed up. He should be on the road right now.''
Williams was living in Grass Valley, Calif., about 45 minutes northeast of Sacramento.
Until recently, he was attending a school of holistic medicine and also spent a month in India to learn yoga techniques, in an attempt to become an instructor.
Once Williams arrives in South Florida, he is expected to reenter the NFL drug testing program.
Steinberg's hope is that the league will reinstate Williams so he can begin training camp July 24, the Dolphins' first day of camp.
The NFL could hold up Williams until July 28, but league sources have indicated that probably won't happen if Williams rejoins the program early.<!--QuoteEnd-->
