Williams sustained a high-ankle sprain in Thursday's 27-14 win over the Jets and is expected to miss multiple weeks, Arnav Sharma of Sports Illustrated reports.

The first-year Patriot suffered a high-ankle sprain on the first drive of Thursday's win, playing just eight defensive snaps before exiting. Williams has been one of New England's most impactful defenders this season, recording 27 total tackles, including 3.5 sacks, and one pass defended over the team's first 11 games. Cory Durden will likely have an expanded role on the Patriots' defensive line while Williams is sidelined.

McDonald tallied one total tackle (none solo) in Thursday night's 27-14 loss to the Patriots.

Although McDonald tallied just one combined tackle in the Jets' Week 11 loss, he pressured Drake Maye three times. McDonald, a third-year edge rusher from Iowa State, is having another productive season, recording 21 total tackles, including 7.0 sacks (4.0 of which came in the Week 10 win over the Browns), across the Jets' first 10 games. He's expected to remain New York's top pass rusher and continue starting opposite Jermaine Johnson in the Week 12 matchup against the Ravens.

Brownlee tallied eight total tackles (six solo) in Thursday night's 27-14 loss to the Patriots.

Brownlee tied Quincy Williams for the most solo tackles on the Jets' defense in Thursday's divisional loss. Brownlee, a second-year pro from Louisville, has appeared in six games since being traded from the Titans to the Jets in late September, recording 31 total tackles, two passes defended and one forced fumble during that span. He's expected to remain one of New York's top defensive playmakers in the Week 12 matchup against the Ravens.

Williams recorded eight total tackles (six solo) in Thursday night's 27-14 loss to the Patriots.

The Murray State product tied Jarvis Brownlee, Jamien Sherwood and Brandon Stephens for the most stops on the Jets' defense during Thursday's loss. Since returning from injury in the Week 8 win over the Bengals, Williams has tallied 23 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and two passes defended over just three contests. He's expected to remain a viable IDP option in the Jets' Week 12 matchup against the Ravens.

Jackson (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Commanders, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Jackson will stay on injured reserve for at least another week while he continues to heal from a toe injury suffered in Week 1. Larry Borom will get the nod to start at right tackle in Week 11 while the 26-year-old Jackson remains out.

Stewart (knee) is expected to be placed on the injured reserve list, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

If Stewart is placed on IR, he will be forced to miss at least the Bengals' next four games, with his earliest possible return coming in the Week 15 matchup against the Ravens. The 2025 first-round pick from Texas A&M has battled injuries all season, already missing four games due to an ankle issue. He's made just five appearances, recording six total tackles across 176 defensive snaps. If Stewart is sidelined for the foreseeable future as expected, Myles Murphy will likely operate as the Bengals' top reserve defensive end.

The Commanders announced Saturday that Sinnott (ankle) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins in Madrid.

Sinnott will miss his first game of the season due to an ankle injury, after he was added to Thursday's injury report as a limited participant and then missed practice entirely Friday. In his stead, John Bates and Colson Yankoff will handle expanded depth roles behind starting tight end Zach Ertz versus Miami on Sunday.

Conner (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

The rookie sixth-rounder will remain on injured reserve as he continues to recover from a knee injury that he sustained during the preseason in mid-August. He was limited in practice all week, so he'll likely remain on IR until he can log full practices.

Arnette (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 11 matchup versus Tennessee.

Arnette appears to have suffered the injury at some point during practice, as he wasn't on the injury report Wednesday or Thursday before popping up as a non-participant Friday. The veteran cornerback has worked almost exclusively on special teams in the two games he's been active for this season.

Brown (foot) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Brown had his practice reps limited Wednesday and Thursday due to a foot issue, but he was a full participant in Friday's practice and is on track to play Sunday. He has started at left guard in eight of the Cardinals' first nine games of the regular season.
