US EditionPatriots Star DT Out Multiple Weeks with Ankle Injury, Team Says
- On Thursday, New England Patriots starting defensive tackle Milton Williams sustained a high ankle sprain in the win over the New York Jets, and ESPN senior writer Jeremy Fowler reported it could sideline him for multiple weeks.
- Williams left on the opening series after colliding with Christian Barmore on the Jets' drive, returned briefly in the first half, then was evaluated in the locker room and shut down for the second half.
- A four-year, $104 million deal and 27 tackles, 3.5 sacks and 8 quarterback hits highlight Milton Williams' impact while playing 61% of defensive snaps this season.
- With the Patriots at 9-2 and next visiting the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday Nov. 23, New England could start Khyiris Tonga, Cory Durden or Joshua Farmer alongside Christian Barmore if Williams is unavailable.
- Despite the injury, Vrabel said `I made a decision that we felt like we should probably just start treating that thing and get ahead of it and see where he's at the next couple of days`, and Williams showed leadership by congratulating teammates after the game.
