  • Patriots' Milton Williams: Lands on IR as expected

    The Patriots placed Williams (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday.

    The fifth-year defensive tackle suffered a high-ankle sprain during the Patriots' 27-14 win over the Jets, and the injury is severe enough for Williams to go on injured reserve. He'll be required to miss at least the next four games, and with the Patriots on a bye Week 14, that makes Week 17 against the Jets on Sunday, Dec. 28 the earliest he can return from injured reserve. Cory Durden and Eric Gregory are poised for more snaps on the defensive line for as long as Williams is out of action.

  • Patriots' Milton Williams: Multi-week absence expected

    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.

  • Patriots' Milton Williams: Good to go Sunday

    Williams (illness) is active for Sunday's matchup versus the Saints.

    Williams was a last-minute addition to the Patriots' injury report early Sunday due to an illness. It appears he'll be able to give it a go against New Orleans, though he probably won't be at 100 percent. New England will nonetheless look to Williams, who has 2.5 sacks through five games, to bolster its pass rush.

  • Patriots' Milton Williams: Under the weather

    Williams is questionable to play against the Saints on Sunday due to an illness.

    Williams was cleared to play after working through an ankle injury all week, but he's now dealing with an illness that puts him in jeopardy of missing Sunday's game. Cory Durden and rookie fourth-rounder Joshua Farmer would be in line to see more snaps at defensive end if Williams is not cleared to play.

  • Patriots' Milton Williams: Active for SNF

    Williams (ankle) is active for Sunday Night Football against the Bills.

    The defensive tackle surfaced on the injury report Wednesday, when he was limited in practice, and then missed Thursday's session and returned for a limited practice Friday. Though he was initially trending in the wrong direction, Williams' injury does not appear to be serious enough to keep him out of Sunday's contest. The free-agent signing has played on at least 58 percent of the defensive snaps in each of New England's first four games, recording nine tackles (seven solo), including 2.0 sacks.

  • Patriots' Milton Williams: Questionable for Sunday

    Williams (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bills, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

    Williams downgraded from a limited practice session Wednesday to a DNP on Thursday, suggesting he's trending in the wrong direction ahead of Sunday. The first-year Patriot has tallied nine total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, through his first four games in New England. If he's sidelined for the Week 5 contest, Cory Durden is likely to star on the Patriots' defensive line.

  • Patriots' Milton Williams: Nursing ankle injury

    Williams did not participate in Thursday's practice due to an ankle injury, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.

    Williams popped up on Wednesday's practice report as a limited participant, so his downgrade to a DNP on Thursday indicates that he is trending in the wrong direction when it comes to his ankle injury. His practice participation Friday will provide clarity on his chances of playing in Sunday's AFC East tilt against the Bills. Cory Durden and rookie fourth-rounder Joshua Farmer would stand to see more snaps at defensive end opposite starter Christian Barmore if Milton is not cleared to play Sunday.
