Overview
- ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Williams has a high ankle sprain and may be sidelined for multiple games.
- Williams was hurt on the Jets’ opening drive after contact with Christian Barmore and did not play after halftime.
- Coach Mike Vrabel said he sat Williams to begin treatment and assess the injury rather than risk further play.
- Cory Durden and rookie Joshua Farmer are candidates for increased snaps, though Farmer was inactive in Week 11 with an ankle issue.
- Williams has 27 tackles, 3.5 sacks and strong pressure metrics this season, and a mini-bye plus a Week 14 bye could help his recovery timeline.
