Overview

• Williams was downgraded from limited on Wednesday to a non-participant on Thursday, with the injury listed as an ankle by the team and characterized as a toe in some reports.
• NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport said the issue does not sound significant, leaving open the possibility he could still be available.
• If he cannot go, New England would likely turn to Khyiris Tonga and rookie Joshua Farmer on the interior, with Eric Gregory also a candidate to be active.
• The high-priced offseason addition has been a standout through September, logging five tackles for loss, two sacks, and 68.3% of defensive snaps after signing a four-year, $104 million deal.
• Elsewhere on the report, K’Lavon Chaisson and Jaylinn Hawkins returned as limited participants, and Jahlani Tavai practiced fully as he works back from injured reserve, with Christian Barmore also listed as full.
