New England Patriots defensive tackle Milton Williams will not be available for Sunday’s game against the New York Jets.
Williams is still recovering from the high ankle sprain that he suffered in the first meeting against the Jets in Week 11. He was placed on injured reserve for four games before the team opted to open his 21-day practice window this week. He appears to be trending in the right direction, even though he was ruled out for the game.
With that said, the Patriots have 21 days to activate Williams. If they fail to do so, he will remain on injured reserve for the rest of the season. The expectation is that Williams will return at some point.
This could be a tough week defensively for the Patriots with the team missing several key players along the defensive front, including Williams, Harold Landry III, Robert Spillane and Khyiris Tonga.
That means the Patriots will need big contributions from players further down the depth chart to knock off the Jets on the road. As for Williams, he will have another chance to return for next week's game against the Miami Dolphins.
Or, the Patriots could choose to keep him out until the playoffs.
