Patriots Activate Will Campbell and Milton Williams Ahead of Week 18 Finale

The reinforcements bolster the lines for a finale that still carries No. 1 seed stakes.

Overview

  • New England moved both starters from injured reserve to the 53-man roster on Saturday after full practice participation and no game designations for Sunday’s matchup with Miami.
  • To manage the roster, the Patriots released defensive tackle Jeremiah Pharms Jr. and elevated center Brenden Jaimes and defensive tackle Leonard Taylor III from the practice squad for gameday.
  • Campbell returns after four missed games due to an MCL sprain sustained in Week 12, while Williams comes back from a high-ankle sprain that sidelined him for five games since Week 11.
  • Campbell is set to reclaim left tackle after Vederian Lowe’s stint, and the defensive interior now features Williams with Christian Barmore, Cory Durden and Eric Gregory, with Khyiris Tonga ruled out.
  • The AFC East champions still have a path to the conference’s top seed with a win or tie plus a Broncos loss to the Chargers, with both games kicking off at 4:25 p.m. ET.
